From places where they dress
In Paris fashions gay,
Where rates are never less
Than twenty bones a day,
With tips we have to pay,
Which give us feelings shiverous,
From gratis that make US gray,
Good Lord, deliver US!
From jazz by day and night,
From hotel concerts. too,
From ladies whose delight
Is bridge the whole day through.
From smart young folks who do
Strange dances quiverous
And never move shoe;
Good Lord, deliver US!
From Private Links (six holes).
Three bucks, or more, a round,
Where every ball that rolls
Is lost and never found;
From porches which abound
In gossip-hounds carniverous.
Whose tongues with scandal
sound;
Good Lord, deliver us!
From front and stall and bluff
With which hotel men fivver US,
From all that high class" stuff,
Good Lord, deliver us!
