PEANUTS mas RIA.
There's trouble in the circus,
The menagerie's in row,
The camel's got his back up,
Sad is the sacred COW.
The elephants in mourning,
Worn is the monkeys phiz,
For the fact is very certain
That "peanuts has ris."
The country maid is weeping,
The city belle in rain,
The little lads and lasses,
Sigh out their hearts in vein,
Neither the tariff question,
Nor yet the Mormon biz,
Can obviate the statement
That peanuts has riz."
