A Song of the Season,

Bring me my gum shoes, mother, likewise my
umberell,
And a pick and shovel to dig my way through
the beautiful which fell;
Bring me my rubber ulster, and my heaagear,
whose sides let down,
For I'm going to walk down town, mother;
I'm going to walk down town.
Tonight have ready hot water with mustard
to lave my feet;
Quinine we viii have for dinner; it's all that
I'll care to eat;
And with superheated blankets get ready to
cook me brown,
For I'm going to walk down town, mother ,
