l Although Mr.. Stevens voice wal
- somewhat weak, he managed by un.
usually distinct articulation, to max,
Il himself understood in all parts OF tn,
big hall.
At the close OF the ex-Hawaiiai
Minister'S speech Mr.. Spaulding ant
the Mendessohn Quartet sang "Hawa
: iian Reveries," which had been com
posed by member of the club for thi
{ occasion. The song made such hi
= that the last verse had to be repeated
a I'd Mr.. Stevens was again called to hi
y Get to bow acknowledgements. Here
|. the song which was sung to the tune {
, "The Bowery."
e Grover, the Paramount, sat in state,
y, scratching the scalp of MI big bald pate,
r Looking as wise as an owl on stump,
Or Nubian camel all ready to hump;
Liliuokalani the ddmsel of SCOT,
Captured him solid from head to foot,
Back in her throne this old gal will put,
IS In Honolulu-1u-lu.
n CHORUS.
- Kalani, Kalani,
u ., LiliuUkalani, is thick and she's brawny;
. kaani, kalani,
y she'll never be queen any more,
III Gresham, the mugwump and migrate too.
Tries to be funny with Honolulu;
EV'ry move he endeavors to make
Is simply a stab and Il guy and fake
I lie, with Grover is stuck on Lii,
. Just bet your boots they will both get the
t. Their BOBBY policy don't fill the bill
- For honolulu
o. GLORIOUS.
Grover for Grover,
Twill soon be all over for Paramou
Grover;
M For Grover for Grover,
Both here and in HONOLULU.
)n President Dole is quite up to the scratch
~, For Blount he's certainly more than mate
~ Even with Grover and Gresham thrown in.
Discounts the three in American vim.
Ihurston is keen and he knows what he's
hat;
G Built just right for diplomat
y. From Honolulu-lu-lu.
CHORUS
rS stevens, our Minister, true as the sky,
Viewed the American banner on high,
Emblem so fair with its stripes and stars
Guarded in honor by Uncle Sans tars.
stevens is here as our guest to night,
-. Well shout his praises with all our might;
" stevens asserted humanity's right
In Honolulu-lu-lu.
