But it seems that the answer Is
plain;
There is a place where his work
has begun
And it's calling to Calvin again.
Refrain:
Just big old White House.
With leaky old roof,
But it's calling. calling again.
There's an old iron gate
That is all out OF date,
But it says. Calvin, won't you re-
main?
His racoon's in the yard
And he hasn't lack
When he hears the wild bees
f1umming. Won't you come back?
And so that's why he'll run.

Early in the dinner three chefs
entered the we'll. pulling large bean

who had been inspecting the pot
added that the pork happened to be

Government is paying $11,oo0.0o0.
