When Wifie’s Away

Of all the insidious temptations invidious

Contrived by the Devil to put a man down,

There is no more elusive, seductive, abusive,

Than the snare to the man when his wife’s out of town.

He feels such delightfulness,

Stay-out-all-nightfulness,

Be sure to get tightfulness,

’Tis one without pain.
