Did It Ever Happen to You?

Met a pretty girl one day,

Took her down to see a play;

Bought her candy, cake and cream,

And other things that she had seen.

Thought I was in good all right,

When I took her home that night,

Hung around and begged a kiss,

And what think you she said, this miss?

“Of all the cheap skates I ever lamped with my ‘once overs,’

You are the crustiest two by twice, hair-brained gazeke on Gawd’s earth,

Shake those gunboats of yours and evaporate.

GOOD NIGHT!”
