Show JUST FOLKS 1 , By KDGWK ... GUtT. I -V rni m; BIIVER DOIujAb The new silver dollar is lovely to sec, But any old dollar looks lovely to Dae! Xow fresh from the mint To a welcome In print Coma n cartwheel of silver to bright-ell bright-ell the place. Aglow with the smile on a pretty girl's face, liut the bank clerk announces with lookH that are black: 'That thing may be art. but the dollar dol-lar won't stack." 1 wish I'd a million all strewn on the floor They might clutter the place and I wouldn't get sore' They might tumble and fall Any old way at all. Roll under the bureau or under the bed. I'd still be admiring that young lady 'a head; Those glorious dollars I'd never it-tack. it-tack. Or curs? or despise them because they won't stock. Some call her a "flapper' the young lady who Has loaned her fair fxce to Ihe, dollar dol-lar so now. I've seen long-bearded men On a "five" or a "ten," And though no one would say they were handsome to see. The greenbacks that woro them still looked good to me; So It s little I care for the fault-finding pack. Good dollars are dollars althoug-h thoy won't stack. The bank clerks may grumble, the art critics sneer. But the new sliver dollar I'll cherl3h and cheer. To my life Journey's ond All Its charms I'll defend. I'll sing its praises wherever 1 roam, And should It be friendless, I'll give It a homo; Oh. never la hatred will I turn my back On the new silver dollar because it won't stack.
