They viii not print the new songs
That tell us of the way
Tho hero to- (boo hoo songs
His mother dear did say;
No were-I-only-rich songs
Will fill our eyes with tears
No slept beside-the-switch songs
VIII thrill our patient ears.
Take back your goo-goo-eye songs
Your songs in dialect
Your soldier-do-or-die songs
Wherein the grammar's wrecked.
Let each song writing vandal
Receive this sudden shock;
The stores will handle Handel,
They're going back to Bach3
You can't be De Koven,
No matter how you try
And mono can beat Beethoven
Or with old Schumann vie.
They will not print the new songs,
But not much will be missed
We shall want very few songs
The while we list to List,
