Salvation Army Baby Show.
' Among the norel entertainments promised for the holiday season is a Salvation. Army Baby Show.'— Daily paper. Hallelujah! Here's a gal Come and see our baby show Babies big and babies small — Babies trained to scream and bawl— Babies sweetly musicalHallelujah babies all !
Major-General Billy Pudge, He shall umpire be and judge ; He's a bachelor, 'tis true, But he knows, ('twixt me and you) More about the infant crow Than a bachelor should do ! Beat the trumpets, blow the drums See the conquering baby comes ! See it amilrs from ear to earSee it wink, with knowing leer— ' Hallelujah— never fear— Me not biggest baby here ! '
Babies good and babies bad — Babies yelling out like mad — , Babies with no collar or tie. Bound for (somewhere) when they die. Who for such deiisrhts would sigh? Most assuredly not I ! Shake the tambourine and bones, Warble all in dulcet tone a ; On the trombone loudly blow, Drown the shrieks and yells that flow From this lively baby show — , Hallelujah ! Here's ago ! Salvation Joe. The Barracks.
