That's Love

* When a man will order lime-juice While his cobbers glow on rum, •When he'll wait from eight till midnight ' > For a girl — who doesn't cpme; When he'll shun the fragrant gasper, Though m torment for a draw; When twice a day his razor Ploughs his tender bleeding- jaw — That's Love! When a girl 'will ditch the gay boys And the Rolls-Royce-running, Sheiks; For a sour-faced shambling saphead « With three-halfpence m his breeks; When she'll listen, pro"ud and rev'rent '/. While he boasts,, the/silly drake,, , 0f the worlds he's GOIN 1 to conquer "And the piles he's GOIN' to make, That's Love. ,*4^Wheti',.a >njaru.wiJL,spend 7V on.vcandy - _. > .1 " "What 'he should invest m shirts; When his eyes don't dream of wand'ring And he never, NEVER flirts; When he drops the gang he grew with, , Disapproving of their tricks; When he] rises unprotesting .
