Forget 1t.

If you see a tall fellow ahead of the
crowd.
A leader of music, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a skeleton hidden
away
In closet, and guarded and kept
from the day
In the dark; whose showing, whose
sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
lifelong disnay,
It's a pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a spot in the life of
friend
eve all have spots concealed, world
without end)
Whose touching his heartstrings
would play or rend,
Till the shame of its showing no
grieving could mend,
It's pretty good plan to forget it
If you know of a thing that will
darken the joy
Of man or a woman, a girl or
boy,
That will wipe out a smile or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to
cloy,
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
