the coon;
These rootlesss tunes. today. don't seen
10 get a proper hold.
So play me some or anything that's rea'
sonably old.
\ Grind me the strains your fathers ground
with such consummate ease,
1 From "Olivette" or "Mignon''-either one
Of them would please
Or Lauterbach, or "Buttercup," or many
more like these.
Or cen the one devoted TO the praise of
I.imburg cheese
You've surely noticed all the bands of all
the world. today.
Can't sweeten up the atmosphere In
Patsy Gilmore's way,
And OF all the boasted primas never one
can put a tongue
To tune that has the flavor OF the sort
that Lotta sung;
And pianists imported for the splendor OF
their hair,
And virtuoso fiddlers pulling catgut
through the air
oh, their renderings are well enough but
yet they can't compare
With the olden organ grinder tunes for
solid wear and tear
used TO know,
With a little strap-back organ OF the
make OF long ago.
Should wander into town and ravel out a
little string
or the songs that Marie Stone and Susie
Kirwin used TO sing:
Nay. prophet am not. and yet vision
/ can see
A judge a-patting jujube. happy as
judge can be;
A dancing. prancing crowd around, in
Guiding you and me,
And a minister a-kicking up his CATERS
In his glee!
