musk for years.
ON THE DIAMOND:
From early in the evening to the midnight
hour or more
There comes from all directions DER the
phone n mighty roar
It's ting-a-llng from cranks all oyer-no
wonder we are sore
Il say: Hello! The Tribune? Say. Trib-
une, what's the scorer"
When these cranks get their lust deserts
and land on Hades shore,
They'll find old Satan waiting there with
points on ball galore.
He'll umpire while they're shovellng coal
and laying up a store
To keep them warm while waiting Till
they find out whats the score?'
