And the tricks they played on folks that night
When the colored porter put out the light;
And how TEDDY-G wouldn’t sleep upstairs
“On a shelf,” he said, “too small for bears.”
He wanted a window; he wanted to see;
And he kept folks awake till half-past three.

In the dining car, and of a mix
When TEDDY-G pulled a rope on top
