breakfast time came round Reagan
was free.
Reagan is an interesting character,
and officers say is a remarkable man.
He is cool, intelligent and seems well
able to take care Of himself.

To whisper in her shellpink ear

Had never had a chance to argue

And he had reaped a just and sweet
reward.

like birds,
Must e'er be wooed, and not by

And like purling brook, oft change

And if the lass, that this confab be

Soon would popular be among the

BE sweet, coquettish, then sit and
watch the fun;
She'll have them all as puppets and
as toys.
She need not give her kisses like
like they're gifts,
But merely make the eager boys
believe
She will, her day is won, and clouds
will rift,
And boys will fondly think they will
receive.
There is time in the lives of girls,
When each and all are eager to be
kissed;
Therefore I doubt that she of combed.
