Hear the ladies with the bells, silver

What world of promise their melody
foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle
In their hands of snowy white.
Saying, All! now don't forget it
Or you surely will regret it
Monday afternoon and night"
For on that day, day, day,
In an extremely reckless way
Graham's going to open with a crash
and bang and roar.
So be there
Ladies fair,
And you'll not fail to learn about the
bells. bells, bells.
Hear the loud alarum bells-brazen
bells!
What a tale of terror now their tur-
bulency tells.
mo one else has much to do
Graham hassit all! Boo-hoo!
City crowds and country, too.
Oh, boo-hoot boo-hoo! boo-hoo!"
Listen Now!
Without vain and fruitless begging
you'll be waited on and shown
The latest fads and fancies that
around the world have flown,
But ah, those souvenirs!
Don't you dare miss them. my dears,
But come and hear the ringing of the
bells. bells, bells.
Hear the tolling of the bells-iron
What world of solemn thought their
monody compels!
Don't you wish you'd gone" they'll
say.
See now what you'll have to pay
Somewhere else"
Graham's Is the place to go
Things are cheapest there, you know;
So come and hear the music of the
bells, bells, bells.
