At night AT night
That TO the mayor Office he's dead sure to 90

With all the old Liberals a-stlcRlng so tight
To the old city offices-Conklin, you're bright.
Just keep up the tune, brothers, that's all right
AT night AT night
But OH What difference in the morning.
Here comes the voter at the dawning,
| With ballot in his hand and a smile so sweet
and bland
| He drops it in for Baskin in the morning.
John Axton he worked the convention all right,
Atnightl At night
But his party he left in terrible plight,
At night At night
Though some of the hobos firmly declare
! That the boy politician is sure TO "get there"
AT night. At night
Johnny doesn't loom up till the dawning
When the city votes are pulled, Mr.. Axiom
tale is told
And Backman gets the office in the morning.
Sam Ewing kept his saloon open so bright,
| At night Sunday night
By which ne could I'LL up the Liberals so tight.
At night AT night
BIT if by such actious he thinks to get there
And with his co-partners the Doodle 10 share
For as marshal he thinks to be on the dead
! square
At night AT night
But OH What a difference in the morning.
The warrants in his pocket he'll be pawning
! al ph Erruiy xril-
| be counted out,
And Pratt will be our marshal in the morning.
Boss Powers he fools with the great Liberal
gang,
AT night At night
For he thinks to get there with their music
and clang,
he rants and he raves about mud covsreG
| streets.
And an elegant show he makes with-dead
And with smile OF duplicity his followers he
greets,
| At night At night
But oh! What q difference in the morning.
A wailing tune he utters with the dawtning.
His eyes that's SO serene have turned olive
green,
For he finds he's in the tureen in the morning.
Pat Lsnnan may rave and roar in his sheet
AT night At night
sweet,
At night At night
But which way to turn they dare not commence
For everyone knows they straddle the fence
And they want to keep clear at others expense
At night At night
But OH What difference in the morning
On the seventh of November they'll be roaring
They'll find they're in the soup when they heal
the peoples whoop,
For the Citizens are victorious in the morning
There's Duke, who is On to the Liberal scheme:
AT night! AT night
And to re-elect him is their fondest dreams.
At night AL night
For they know he would help them as he's don't
