I'll tell you the secret of the fun. I buy my teas of the Tycoon, And bring them here in balloon, Salt water don't affect the flavor; Mine hold the Oriental savor. buy my prints just where they make 'em. They're so pretty you can't help take 'em. They're the incest goods in all the state, With figures marked from 12 to 8.
