VOL. Nv.

Hello, you million dollar pup,
You little woody devil!
No wonder you are SO stuck up
Above the common level.
You live the most exclusive way,
BY reason of your riches;
Of course you're not allowed to play>
With common ours and bitches.
You have suite of furnished rooms,
With Turkish bath and toilet,
And servant girls with mops and
brOoms
TO clean up when you spoil it.
You have soft and dovny bed
On which to do your snoozing;
The rarest dainties when you re fed,
And all of special choosing.
You have doctor when you're sick
TO cure your pains and twitches;
Also maid who knows the lick
To scratch you where it itches.
You've got dozen suits of clothes
That cost thousand dollars,
With shoes to warm your precious toes,
And diamond collars.
Your weakest little whine Or bark
Will bring your slaves a-trotting,
While humans in the cold and dark
Are perishing and rotting.
Say, pup, you've got the laugh on us
You high and mighty poodle;
But you amt worth tinker's cuss-
Doggon your bloody Doodle!
