THE TYPICAL TOPICAL SONG.
In the midst Of the craze for these mu-
steal plays
Which hold such remarkable sway,
When an item like plot doesn't matter
a DOT
And art has very small "a
At times 1t will hap that the usual
snap
Is lacking, and something goes
wrong;
Still, you can reply 1t will go" by and
by &.
With the typical, topical song!
Here's a subject or two that often
Will do,
If sung with a confident nous
The high price of meat the people will
greet
With shouts that will bring down
the house,
If the tariff you chair, twill elicit a
laugh;
And the subway's especially strong,
And a touch on divorce can't be miss
ing, OF course,
/ From the typical, topical song.
Then the suffaragette cause will win
great applause;
The comet will prove big draw,
Joy riding, a strike, chauffeurs and the
like,
/ They'll all OF them bring guffaw!
/ 1t won't matter bit if the plays not
a hit;
+, You'll find that the public will
throng
To the musical piece, which will take
new lease
With the typical, topical song.
