"The Lemon.
All the girls are fond Of lemons.
They say that they are fine,
And specially when a easy one
And used at the right time.
Sometimes a girl has Il candy beau,
That always brings her candy,
She'll say, he is the finest thing,
Because he is so handy.
Some OF them have theatre beaus,
Who carries them to the play.
They'll say he's fine the night they go,
But nothing the next day.
Others have an auto beau,
Who with they often spin,
But If calls to take walk,
The lady's never in.
Most OF the girls are finding out,
That Lemons are plentiful here,
And some OF them have birthdays
About 23 times year.
If Lemon goes to see a girl.
And her age is twcnty-four
She'll say she is sweet sixteen,
And hasn't got q beau.
But il ali the fellows take good advice,
They'll take their girls to the park.
For spooning is fine in the summer time,
And specially after dark.
