JUST NONSENSE.
It was midnight on the ocean
Not a street car was in sight
The sun was shining brightly
And it rained all day that night.
It was a summer day in winter
The rain was snowing fast
A barefoot girl with shoes on
Stood sitting on the grass.
It was evening and the rising sun
Was setting in the west
The little fishes in the trees
Were cuddled in their nests.
The rain was pouring down
The moon was shining bright
And everything that you could see
Was hidden from your sight.
While the organ peeled potatoes
Lard was rendered by the choir
While the sexton rang the dish rag
Some one set the church on fire.
“Holy Smokes” the preacher shouted
In the rain he lost his hair
Now his head resembles heaven
For there is no parting there.
This is the story of Johnny McGuire,
Who ran through the town with his trousers on fire;
He went to the doctor’s and fainted with fright
When the doctor told him his end was in sight.
