those UNDERTAKES.
Dr. Llpinski.)
Great Zeus and Aphrodite
And the Grecian Thunder makers,
And the town as hot as bliXen
And thousand Undertakers,
Taking everything in town,
Doing things up. nice and brown,
And the speeches, songs ad psalming,
And discourses on embalmlng,
And the various methods new,
For preparing me and you
When we've shufflel OFF this Mortal
coil,
And, got our Journey through;
With reference often
To the newest style OF coffin,
And the ways to let us down
Softy, gently. In the gronnd,
And the stories new anl spicy,
land refreshments cool and icy, . =
And the eatins and the drlnkins,
And the tiresome business round,
Gread Zeus and Aphrodlte,
And the Grecian Tunder makers,
There's none can hold candle
To this bunch OF Undertakers.
