An’ scratch his head an’ ask the cause

Of w’at there wuz before time wuz,

An’ w’at the universe’d do

Bimeby w’en time had all got through;

An’ jest how fur we’d have to climb

If we sh’d travel out er time,

An’ if we’d need, w’en we got there

To keep our watches in repair.

Then, if his wife she’d ask the gawk

If he wouldn’t kinder try to walk
