WHEN THE FROST is
ON YOUR WHISPERS.

When the frost is on your whiskers,
And you've missed the train a block
And you're standing on the corner
All a-quiver from the shock;
When not soul is stirring
Save the milkman in his dray,
And silence's only broken
AS the rooster crows for day.
When not blooming restaurant
Has opened up its doors,
And not single kiddie
Has started on his chores:
How your nerves will get shock,
When the frost is on YOU whiskers,
And you've missed the train a block
When the frost is on your whiskers,
And you've missed the train a block
Then you stroll up to the "hash house.
Where you stand and freeze and kno X
When the landlord comes a. wheeling
Then a-glaring at you SO,
And asks you awful gruffy
That he would like to know
why you come a-loudly thumpin
Afore the break o. day.,
And why you hadn't rested
In his barn across the way.
Then you answer him most meeIxly:
Soak me hard upon the block,
For the frost is on my whiskers
And I've missed my train block
