"There is heartless old fellow nam

Who sometimes treats Cupid with
hate, ~
He dins his ears with everv noise
And with street lights frightens off
the boys.
Places the swing in the open air,
Where passers by may stop and
stare,
But soon comes the gallant,
Whose love fills the world,
Snaps his fingers at Fate
And takes off the girl.

He holds his dear and mine he can
