tread,
For there's many hot and aching head;
The doors are closed and the blinds are
down,
For IL must be dark IN Nervoustown.
And you mustn't whistle or shout or cheer
Or slam the doorsi Oh. dear! Oh. dear
Lest q cloth bound head and a terrible
frown
Poke out at you from Nervoustown.
Oh, there's never a person there but goes
On the very tip OF his tippy-tocs:
Not ever a lad has heard at all
OF follow my leader or rude baseball;
It's much as your life Is worth to yell.
The flowers can't grow for the camphor
smell:
While a big policeman. up and down.
Cries, "Sh-hr through the streets OF
Nervoustown.
And a little boy who didn't know.
Once years and years ago.
Gave three loud. lusty cheers one day
For something or other. can't say.
And they shipped his head off-Oh!
oh! Oh!
With big. red. rusty shears. you know.
And cloth bound heads bobbed up and
down
With gladness all through Nervoustown.
But. oh. it's so gloomy in Nervoustown.
With the doors tightshut and the blinds
all down,
Where the frightened lad his whole life
goes
on the very tip OF his tippy-toes.
Where the hens don't cluck and the birds
don't sing.
And even the church bells dare not ring
Lest n cloth bound head with terrible
frown
Poke out at them from Nervoustown.
