OH here's to the lassie of sweet sixteen
Who views the world with smile Sc
rene,
Who speaks in an autocratic way
And murmurs dozen times a day.
TITS perfectly lovely!"
When she pauses the mimic stage to
scan
And fixes her eye on the leading man,
She says as she follows his every pose
Aud notes the cut of his brand new
clothes,
He's perfectly lovely
She said that the mule with the wav-
ing ear
And the ostrich whose walk is so very
queer,
And the pickaninny with china eyes,
And the pumpkin THAT won the state
fair prize
We're perfectly lovely"
And we who hesitate 10 forgive
Her over-zealous sup9rlative-
What wouldn't we give for the youth
full spell
~ 3iiSNi iiitINCo tllC WOl III that VIC hLON
too we'll
Seem perfectly lovely!"
