All freely to the air.

With operas that rank
Among the m~asterworks Of sonR.
They play it wan a crank.
Or through the home there floats I

Nobody has to practice 1t.
You play 1t with your feet.
And when you want some vocal strain
To make you weep or laugh
You pull the lever once again
That starts the phonograph.

Sounds gentle and serene.
You're facing competition sharp
With goods made by machine.
