In spite of the funny man. Vrohibit-'oiiisls don't always yearn to drink,

In spite of the funny man; And " Charley " occasionally thinks a think,

In spite of the funny man. Policemen's feet aren't huge at all; The plumber's bill is sometimes small; And me*&isv>g.>v boys don't always ciawl,

In spite of the funny man. The poets don't have to live on air, In spilo of the funny luan ; Those fronf-ro'.v men sometimes have hair,

In spite of the funny man. Sometimes a brand-new joke is sprung; Sometimes the ballet girl 13 young"; And so-'aetimes v/hes arc not all tongue,

In spite ut the funny man. Society girls at bulls wear clothes,

Iv spilo of the funny :uai». Sometimes a man pays what he owes,

In spite of the funny man. Sometimes a typist is plaiu in face; Sometimes the church deacon's not at the race; In fact, this worUVa quite a decent place, * In spite of the fui>ny man.
