THE HARVEY HOUSE CHIMES ON THE SANTA FE RAILROAD.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Better hurry—do not be late.
Best of food is on the table,
Eat as much as you are able—
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
A welcome waits at every plate.
Shining silver, spotless linen,
Waitresses, all pretty women—
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Ascending sweet from one to eight,
Descending just as sweet to one—
The chimes have stopp’d, the meal’s begun.
