QUIT ADVERTISING WHEN

When the Grasshopper ceases to hop And the COW quits bawling. When the fishes no longer flop
 And the baby stops squalling. When the dunner no longer duns
 And the hoot owl quits hooting. When the rivers cease to run
 And the burglar stops footing. When the vine no longef -twines
 And the skylark stops his larking. When the sun no longer shines
 And the young men quit sparkling When the heavens begin to drop
 And old maids stop advising. Thcn-its time to shut up shop
 And quit your advertising.
