He never chews q piece of hay;
He is no. rubber neck"
The English that he speaks is pure,
He never says ''by heck!'
| He travels in his motor car;
His wife wears classy gowns;
He spends his moments laughing al

He doesn't read the almanacs
To get news of the day.
He has a party telephone,
And hears it all the way

When you rise from your bed,
With a terrible head,
And your tongues like shredded
wheat;
When your feeling at first
Is O. fire engine thirst
And you have no desire to eat.
When your brains in reel
And you're sure that you feel
The floor of your bedroom rock;
When the walls seem to sway
In an uncertain way,
And you're sure it's an earthquake

Far. far be it from us to brag,
But our mobile acquired a jag

II took up both sides of the street
We could not hang onto the seat,
If anyone got in its pathway, woe
betide.
we tore down forty rods of brand

We damned around and didn't think
about expense.
We wrecked a heneoop, killed

Our car tried to go into each saloon
we'd pass.
The doors were all too narrow, so we
smashed the glass.
1t was day brim full of thrills,
That car found five Illicit stills
And nine blind pigs before the thing
ran out of gas.
1t dropped down by the roadside with
dying wheeze,
And nineteen miles back home we
had to fan the breeze.
Booze put that ear right on the
