THE SONG OF HURRY.

OH it's hurry. hurry, hurry and it's hurry oil
you can
You've got to keep hurryng and hustle like
man
The easy way Of going Is relic Of the past,
And now it's hurry hurry upl-Now hurry
hurry fast
lis very sure II you don't run the other fellow
will,
And so you want to hurry, and then hurry
harder still
II some ones bound TO boat you, you can pass
him In wink
Ifyou but keep hurry on and never stop to
think,
There may be time to catch your breath when
you have caught your car
But sixty seconds to the minutes oil OF them
there are,
There are but sixty minutes out Of every hour
Of those,
And when you figure very fast, it's awful how
itgoes
And don't forget you've got to get there mighty
quick because
You've got to get away again and snatch II
from the Jaws,
Whose Jaws they are don't cut the Ice, nor
what you're going to snatch;
You cant be too particular In such shooting
match.
You needn't stop to fix your feet and try to
walk crack,
For though It's tough a-eetting there, IT'S
tougher getting back
There's little time to linger on the greeny
grassy lawn
When long before you've gotten there you
ought to then be gone.
SO keep a-humping, humping, now and jolly
right along,
With here hurry there hurry then hurry
strong
II you hut keep your hurry on, ind hurry
hurry fast,
Its ten to one you re on the run and may get
back at last
