Gaze at the good-natured crowd, <br /> List to the noise and the rattle! <br />Heavens! that woman is loud- <br /> Loud as the din of a battle. <br /> <br />List to the noise and the rattle! <br /> Hark to the honk of the horn <br />Loud as the din of a battle! <br /> There! My new overcoat's torn! <br /> <br />Hark to the honk of the horn! <br /> Cut out that throwing confetti! <br />There! My new overcoat's torn- <br /> Looks like a shred of spaghetti. <br /> <br />Cut out that throwing confetti! <br /> Look at the gentleman, stewed; <br />Looks like a shred of spaghetti- <br /> Don't get so terribly rude! <br /> <br />Look at the gentleman, stewed! <br /> Look at the glare of the rocket! <br />Don't get so terribly rude, <br /> Keep your hand out of my pocket! <br /> <br />Look at the glare of the rocket! <br /> Take that thing out of my face! <br />Keep your hand out of my pocket! <br /> This is a shame and disgrace. <br /> <br />Take that thing out of my face! <br /> Curse you! Be decent to ladies! <br />This is a shame and disgrace, <br /> Worse than traditions of Hades. <br /> <br />Curse you! Be decent to ladies! <br /> (Heavens! that woman is loud.) <br />Worse than traditions of Hades <br /> Gaze at the 'good-natured' crowd!<br /><br />Franklin P.
