In the jingle Stiffness reigps.
And the lions now may venture

Ali the otner beasts are happy
For the hunters no more roam,
Guns arc silent, packed are kokaks-
For ON Teddy's coming home.
He has shot the longn0scd rhino,
And has swum the Rivcr Nile;
lie has bagged five hund, Ell hippo
Which should hold him for a while.
Soou with Skins and horns and trophy
He'll be sailing DER the foam
al the bands are getting ready
For our Teddy's coming home.
After all ilose months OF hustle
He NAV find us rather slow.
but If he should pine for action
Let him TO the westward go,
Where the cowboys will give welcome
with roar that from far Nome
Ssall reecho clear to Boston.
And give proof that Teddy's home.
