When Washington was President,
As cold as any icicle,
He never on railroad went.
And never rode bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp.
Nor heard about the Yellowstone,
He never licked postage stamp,
And never saw II telephone.
His trousers ended at the knees,
By wire he could not snatch dis

He filled his lamp with whale oil

And meyer had match to scratch
