AT THE CLUB
(Rondel)
When a pretty maiden passes
By the window down the street,
Cards and billiards lose their sweet;
Conversation on old brasses
Languishes; up go the glasses—
“Nice complexion!” “Dainty feet!”
When a pretty maiden passes
By the window down the street.
By the window down the street,
Cards and billiards lose their sweet;
Conversation on old brasses
Languishes; up go the glasses—
“Nice complexion!” “Dainty feet!”
When a pretty maiden passes
By the window down the street.
Smith forgets the “toiling masses,”
Robinson the fall in wheat;
All the club is indiscreet.
Ah! the wisest men are asses
When a pretty maiden passes.
Robinson the fall in wheat;
All the club is indiscreet.
Ah! the wisest men are asses
When a pretty maiden passes.
