Just Leave 1t to Us

Bring along the undertaken,
And the butcher and the baker;
Fetch the dry goods man, the clo-
thler and the draper,
Bring along the village loafer,
With the teacher and the chauffeur,
And let them tell us how to run
the paper.
Why, sure! anyone can do it
It's cinch! there's nothing to it..
It's a pudding jobs sinecure, q
snap;
Just a simple proposition
Which requires no erudition,
And experience it doesn't take
a rap.
So trot out the clerks and brokers
Call the engineers and stokers,
And bring the politicians off the
street;
Fetch the busman and the plumber
With the land man and the
drummer
And we'll have them tell us how
to run the sheet.
What suggestions! what monitions!
what DEGREES!
There's almost sure to be con-
fusion,
So let us mention in conclusion
That we'll run the burned thing
'xactly as we please.
