The times still grow to something strange	A
We rap and turn the tables	B
We fire our guns at awful range	A
We lay Atlantic cables	B
We bore the hills we bridge the seas	C
To me 'tis better far	D
To sit before my fire at ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
We start gigantic bubble schemes	E
Whoever can invent 'em	F
How splendid the prospectus seems	E
With int'rest cent per centum	F
His shares the holder startled sees	C
At eighty below par	D
I dawdle to my club at ease	C
And light a mild cigar	D
	-
We pickle peas we lock up sound	G
We bottle electricity	H
We run our railways underground	G
Our trams above in this city	H
We fly balloons in calm or breeze	C
And tumble from the car	D
I wander down Pall Mall at ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
Some strive to get a post or place	I
Or entree to society	H
Or after wealth or pleasure race	I
Or any notoriety	H
Or snatch at titles or degrees	C
At ribbon cross or star	D
I elevate my limbs at ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
Some people strive for manhood right	J
With riots or orations	K
For anti vaccination fight	J
Or temperance demonstrations	K
I gently smile at things like these	C
And 'mid the clash and jar	D
I sit in my arm chair at ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
They say young ladies all demand	L
A smart barouche and pair	M
Two flunkies at the door to stand	L
A mansion in May Fair	M
I can't afford such things as these	C
I hold it safer far	D
To sip my claret at my ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
It may be proper one should take	N
One's place in the creation	O
It may be very right to make	N
A choice of some vocation	O
With such remarks one quite agrees	C
So sensible they are	D
I much prefer to take my ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
They say our morals are so so	P
Religion still more hollow	P
And where the upper classes go	P
The lower always follow	P
That honour lost with grace and ease	C
Your fortunes will not mar	D
That's not so well but if you please	C
We'll light a fresh cigar	D
	-
Rank heresy is fresh and green	Q
E'en womenkind have caught it	R
They say the Bible doesn't mean	Q
What people always thought it	R
That miracles are what you please	C
Or nature's order mar	D
I read the last review at ease	C
And smoke a mild cigar	D
	-
Some folks who make a fearful fuss	S
In eighteen ninety seven	O
Say heaven will either come to us	S
Or we shall go to heaven	O
They settle it just as they please	C
But though it mayn't be far	D
At any rate there's time with ease	C
To light a fresh cigar	D
	-
It may be there is something true	T
It may be one might find it	R
It may be if one looked life through	T
That something lies behind it	R
It may be p'raps for aught one sees	C
The things that may be are	D
I'm growing serious if you please	C
We'll light a fresh cigar	D
