The candidate now strolls the streets
 And shakes with every man ie meets, It may be that in the days gone by
 His chin was pointed rath r high,
 But nov they all look good to him It's hello Bill" and "Ah t. ere, Jim.
 He takes the farmers horny hand
 4 nd squeezes it to beat the band;
 He doffs his hat now a the while,
 Is lavish with his hearty smile- The man in fact is common clay
 And will be till election day.
 Yes he IS just common man,
 He dresses sloppy as he can,
 He don't care how his collar lays. His hat has see its best days,
 His patent feathers crack and peel, His trousers irszzle at the heel, His shit is made of common stuff. To comb his hair he makes a bluff. He plays the part as best he can And plays it like an actor man, His better duds are laid away And will be till election day. This candidate is everywh re- go to church and meet him there And when stop to buy . smoke He bobs up with his "I aint broke" And blanks his good old money down, The man is every place in wn, When thirst may happen t, be mine And l pursue the festive stein, This candidate hear and see, It's "come, old man, this is onme;" He always wants to pay, And he will until election day.
