AFTER HENLEYA
-
Where are the wheezes they essayedB
And where the smiles they made to flowC
Where's Caron's seltzer siphon laidB
A squirt from which laid Herbert lowC
Where's Charlie Case's comic woeC
And Georgie Cohan's nasal drawlD
The afterpiece The olioD
Into the night go one and allD
-
Where are the japeries fresh or frayedB
That Fields and Lewis used to throwC
Where is the horn that Shepherd playedB
The slide trombone that Wood would blowC
Amelia Glover's l f toeC
The Rays and their domestic brawlD
Bert Williams with Oh I Don't KnowC
Into the night go one and allD
-
Where's Lizzy Raymond peppy jadeB
The braggart Lew the simple JoeC
And where the Irish servant maidB
That Jimmie Russel used to showC
Ben Harney's where And Artie HallD
Nash Walker Darktown's grandest beauC
Into the night go one and allD
-
L'ENVOIE
-
Prince though our children laugh Ho HoC
At us who gleefully would fallD
For acts that played the Long AgoC
Into the night go one and allD
