If you like the old town best,
Tell 'em so!
If you'd have her lead the rest,
Help her grow!
When there's anything to do
Let the fellows count on you;
You'll feel bully when it's Through
Don't you know
If you want to make hit,
Get q name!
IF the other fellows it
Who's to blame?
Spend your money in the town,
Where you pull the shekles down;
Give the mail concern frown-
That's the game!
If your used to giving knocks.
Change your style!
Throw bouquets instead of rocks
For a while!
Let the other fellow roast;
Shun him as you would a ghost;
Meet his hammer with boast
And a smile.
When a stranger from afar
Comes along.
Tell him who and what we are
Make it strong,
Needn't fatter, never bluff,
Tell the truth, for that's enough
We belong.
