Show THE WAY OF THE WORLD "Flush" and the world will greet you! "Broke" and you herd alone! For you cut no ice when you haven't. the price, And no friend you can bone! Wealthy, and how they'll love you! (As long as you've got a cent!) They'll pester your soul while you flash a roll, And kick you out when it's spent. Up, and they'll praise your sharpness! sharp-ness! Down, and they'll jump your frame! If you're coining the chink, you're a wise old gink, And gosh! how they'll laud your name! But let some little misfortune Despoil you of every yen, Just take the hunch; Not one of the' bunch Would whisper your name again. Spend, and the world comes flocking flock-ing To follow where'er you'll lead! Borrow a sou, and they'll glare at you, And ask who you've tried to bleed! Win. and they'll take ne o nyouaaa Win, and they'll "take one on you!" Lose, and you'll be the goat! You are up a peg till they've pulled pull-ed your leg And then good-night! you're afloat! afl-oat! Smoke, and you'll pay for the stogies! stog-ies! If you want one, nobody buys! 'Twas ever that way since Adam's day, For people are worldly-wise! They've room in their auto to take you, If you pay as they eat and dance, Eut you bet your skates they will make no dates When there's fringe on your Sunday pants! |
