A suave and bland young man,
A scented and puffed young man
Who sells you a ticket,
Thro' a nice little wicket,
A thoroughly Alton man.
Conceive me if you can,
A most urbane young man.
Correct in my money,
Sweet as new honey,
A perfectly good young man.
⁂
GENERAL CHORUS.
We're all of us railroad men,
Genial, jolly-souled men;
Some of us pretty,
All of us witty,
Chicago & Alton men.
Conceive us if you will,
Jolly old bucks, but still
We're always on time,
And belong to the line
That's right on the top of the hill.
I love you and am yours forever.
