Before him Is a touring car
Broken to little bits
And the owner and the chauffeur. too
Have almost lost their wits.
The village blacksmith SMILES with gles
As he lights his fat cigar,
He tells his helpers what to do
To straighten up the car,
And the owner and the chauffeur. too,
Stand humbly where they are.
The village blacksmith puffs his weed
And smiles smile of cheer
The while his helpers pump the tires
And monkeys with the gear
And the owner and the chauffeur, too,
Stand reverenty near
Behind tho village blacksmith is
The portal of his shop;
The shop is very large In size,
With tiled roof on top
And the owner and the chauffeur, too.
At it were glad to stop.
The children going home from school
Look in at the open door;
They like to see him make his bills
And hear the owners roar.
| And the chauffeurs weep as they declare
They ne'er paid that before.
He goes each morning to the bank ID
And salts away his cash:
A high silk hat and long frock coat
Help him to cut a dash
But the owner and the chauffeur, too,
Their teeth all vainly gnash
The chestnut tree long since has died,
The smith does not repine;
His humble shop has grown into
A building big and fine
