poor old thing is behind the times.

, Waiter another bottle here
OF the best wine in stock
We've drank enough Illicit beer
To burst q "whnstsue" rock.
These gentlemen from proud Moline
On this eycntful day,
| Must on cur streets be JOviAl seen,
THE city it viii pay.
They're from that Puritanc town
II Across the little rill,
Whose piows have won so much renown
On prairie land and hill.
[ O, here her city fathers shine
Oar guests this glorious day,
Waiter, don spare your oldest wine
The city it will pay"
Il More wine. more wine, q dozen more
Boys, help Yourselves, that's right
: I've drank of bottles oft a score
On such a lnstrous night.
Look out, see our electric stars.
They shine as fright a. day.
Drive to the winds Of heaven all cares,
/ THE city it will pay
The scheme to get the faithful four
-, From genial Illinois,
On an abnormal drunk before
f lowa's hoodlnm boys
Failed, as all schemes like il should fail,
e No matter who Will pay
IL The reckoning, for the wine was stale
= That sunday, so they say.
