the gridiron quartet in a song a verse OF
which ran. the tune being Il love my
wife, but oh you kidd"
NOV ROOSEVELT once was president,
Oh yes, he was;
But Mr.. Taft now runs the Job,
Oh yes he does.
Roosevelt now has gone a hunting.
Shooting with his might and main;
So the politicians sing
This musical refrain:
CHORUS.
We love, we love, we love Roosevelt.
But, oh you Taft;
He's gone away to Africa,
But, oh you Taft;
He said he would come back again,
And thereupon we laughed,
We love, we love. we love Roosevelt.
But, oh you TAFT.
