She will sing song TO cover the sighs,
She Will fight FOR the mastery over PAW
Full many an untold hattie gam;
Then over a mouse Will faint away,
But that is only a woman's way.
She will take her place in the battle Of

And bear uneomplaining the brant OF the

Her strength and energy ready 20 share,
And ALWAYS irving a smile to wear;
But in a dispute the last word she'll say,
For IA Is just womans way.
She rocks Ito cradle of hlc's greatest men;
She has ruled the world since the world

But when she goes shopping she takes
