'At ever lived wiz folks;
She lets you have ze mostes' fun,
An' laffs at all your jokes.
I got a ol' maid auntie, too,
The worst you ever saw;
Her eyes ist bore you through and through,—

She put me wise that Lipstick Lou was in the family way:
"An' who ze baby's fazzaire ees, only ze bon Dieu know."
Then on a black and bitter night passed on poor Lipstick Lou;
And by her bedside, midwife wise, wi' tears aflowin' free,

 The quality was right;
The size too, yet I gravely said:
 'Too bad you haven't white.'

That pretty maid had sunny hair,
 Her gaze was free from guile,
And while I hesitated there
 She watched me with a smile.
Then as I went to take the blue

'Ze khaki ones are best, M'sieu:
 Ze dirts zey do not show.'...Read more of this...
