A MUSICAL PAIR.
"We are a wonderful musical pair,
Our notes go sailing up into the air,
And then like rain
Come down again.
When Mr. Frog, as will be seen,
Will catch 'em all in his tambourine,
And put our notes
Back in our throats
To use once more
On another score.
"So don't be afraid to ask us to sing
A solemn song or some comic thing;
An opera grand, an opera small.
We've notes enough and to spare for all.
We can sing as high as a telegraph pole,
As deep as the hole where they keep the coal.
So step up soon
And name your tune.
Meanwhile we'll sing in our best-known manner
A line from the sweet 'Star-Spangled Banana.'"
Mamma. "Ethel, what is the matter with you? You have been jumping all day long."
Ethel. "I think it must be my spring tonic that makes me feel so."
