Now she paints pictures of bouquets of roses. That’s why they call her Grandma Moses! In Las Vegas in a great big bar, Stands Willie Davis, a great big star. He croons all day to the cigarette girls. He goes for that kind with the ribbons and curls. Down in the tropics, in the middle of the sea, Swings Manuel Garcia from tree to tree, He swings all day in the tropic sun. He doesn’t work hard, but he sure has fun! Here in Duncan laying bricks. Is Marvin Eldred with his children six. He works and works and never has any fun. And all he has to show for it is a bottle of rum. Rcnald Jacobson, one of our football stars, Comes out of the games all covered with scars. With all those scars you’d think he’d be sore. But he always seems to go back for more. Martin Tellez is on East Van Buren: His many gals have been his ruin. When he gets out, he wants to be a hermit. He’ll live far away on old Mt. Kermit. Sitting in a bar down Texas way, Is John Hamilton, he’s there to stay. He says to the bartender, “Fill er up. Bill, Or I’ll go home and start up my still.” Henry Brubaker's taking a real long trip, All because of a black and blue lip. Seems he want out with a cute girl one night. And her and her husband had a big fight. Hey, Shirley Mcsley, “How lucky can a girl get? ’ She bought a ticket and on her man she did bet. She placed it for win, and him she did snare. Now she tells this to her kids, in her ole rockin’ chair. Here’s Joe Baber, who loves “Widder Brown.” He’s the mayor of our little town. For traffic tickets he charges very large fines And on “pardons he shakes his head and declines. Now this is the tale, said and sore Of the Senior Class of '54. They were stinkers when they were here, But thoughts of them, we’ll always hold dear. Bob John
