The look that he gave me—it made me think;
And I thought of a plan as quick as wink
And I says, “Feller-citizens, ladies and gents,
I guess that we’ve each of us got a few cents,
And we’ll club together and have a show,
And charge a price, not high nor low;
And we’ll raise the money, right here and now,
That’ll buy Jack back by to-morrow—that’s how!
Tony, the Eyetalian boy, he’ll sing;
And Patsy McGovern’ll do his handspring;
