Tho Second Tiddla

The Second Fiddle
like the little fellows who don't
count for very much;
1t isn't from the 'celloS that you
get the finger touch;
The roaring of the BASES and the
rattle of the traps
May have their proper places in the
harmony. perhaps;
But down there in the middle. incon-
spicuously there,
Is the little second fiddle that is
The crashing of the cymbal shakes
the ceiling with it's .'Blam!"
The piccolo is nimble; Boom you
hear the drummer slam;
The trombone slides and screeches;
Tut, tut. tut the proud cornct
Just little higher reaches than
it's ever tuted yet:
The main High Diddle Diddle runs his
fingers through his hair
But the little second fiddle still us
carrying the air.
We talk about the bosses with the big
and busy brain,
Making profits, taking losses-but
the boss would boss in vain
If he didn't have assistance. some one
handy he could trust:
He would never go the distance.
and the company would bust.
Here's the secret Of the riddle of sue
cesses ev'rywhere--
There's some little second fiddle
that is carrying the air!
