Life is a song and love is sweet.

Laughing lyrics with ripping feet.
Pattering music like drops OF rain,
Ragtime ruffles our weary brain,
Oh, for the ballad OF surge and sway,
Words that wave like field OF grain
Where are the songs OF yesterday?
Stately the tune with the measured beat.
But coon songs fill ne with pensive pain.
Yet it's ever and always the thing we
meet,
Ever and always and again,
Till II verify makes life "A bane,
Singers, n respite OF you we pray
From the baby warm by the razor slain
Where are the songs of yesterday?
Verses like these we madly bleat,
Trying TO voice our deep disdain
For the song and the dance described as
neat
In comic operas tangled skein,
Oh. for the time OF poets reign!
These limping filters 10 drive away,
Is there nothing to lose and nothing to
gain?
Where are the songs Of yesterday?
Poet prince, to our pleading deign
Make us laughing, loving lay;
Tell us in time what we ask In vain
Where are the songs OF yesterday?
