Now don't you mistake what I said, For she doesn't pose for a painterg She's a model housewife instead. Both Ruby and Thelma are old maids, 'l'hey're making' their ways all alone.

The last of our old High School comrades Is living in Hollywood now. Our Helen is coining a fortune She got i11 the movies somehow.
