When Sunday Ends the War.

Billy Sundays in Chicago; in Chica-
go let him stay;
For # he should strike Decatur you
would lose out in our pay, -,
All the coin in circulation and all
money in the bank,
Every cent would go to Billy 1or MS
preaching, which is punk
We heard him use profanity and
slang in years gone by;
The day | we'll remember when
lady BACKED his eye,
getting in a boat
And brave the angry pillows to get
the Kaiser's Nanny.
Our Billv's patriotic; DER the plat
form he will prance
Saving that the day is coming when
he'll row away for France;
If our general gives permission, Well
soon hear the preacher tel
How HE ended all the conlilct--
sending Kaiser Bill to haaes.
Here's hoping that our. idol will do
everything he said
That he'll keep the Germans gong
It's IN to You now, Billy-start
right out for fame and glory;
Be as truthful as the boy who said
81 cannot tell lie"
