oh, the bellies!
Summer bellies
What plenitude of heartaches their
giddiness compels;
How they giggle, giggle, giggle,
In the sea breeze laden night,
How their victims squirm and wriggle
In an ecstasy of fright,
How they hurt
When they fiirt,
When with ghoulish glee they gloat
On the squirming of a fellow when they
have him by the throat
OH the bellies!
Brazen bellies;
How they conjure, scheme and plan
To entrap the summer man,
The ribbon counter gentlemen who mas
querade as swells.
Oh! the bellies!
Greedy bellies;
How they wiring, wiring, wiring
Saltwater, everything,
From the pockets of those CASH"
exclaiming swells.
OH the bellies!
Foxy bellies;
What a wealth of hints they fling
To compel the pleasant ring,
Diamond ring,
All the heart engaging ring
OF the golden wedding bells, bells, bells,
bells, bells.
OH the bellies!
