Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But, he with a chuckle
That "maybe it couldn’t," but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face
If he worried he ...
There must be great rejoicin' on the Golden Shore to-day,
An' the big an' little angels must be feelin' mighty gay:
Could we look beyond the curtain now I fancy we should see Old Aunt Mary waitin', smilin', for the coming that's to be,
My father knows the proper way The nation should be run;

You've all that the greatest of men have had,
Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes,
