Wahoo-wah, Homegrown Dope, And See You At The Hop!

Garcon, Une "Dope" Aux Pommes,
S'il Vous Plait!

You may sing me a song about Medoc,
You may read me an essay on beer,
You may talk by the day of the charms of Vouvray,
But not one of your words will I hear!
You may play on my feelings with Chablis,
You may chant about Pale Ale and Stout,
You may sob all night long about Cognac strong,
But I'll still show no interest, old scout!
You may set out a magnum of Champagne
Or a thimble of ancient Chartreuse,
You may lay out a stock which would cause "thirsts" to flock,
And would please almost all connoisseurs!
But not one of these tickles my palate,
For my heart to "The Corner" is known,
So please give me "Dope",—but for "chaser", I hope,
A big toke of Apple, Home Grown!
