The etptaf Kuff Rub thy ball, oh noble seer, Rub it well that thou may see What our loyal Seniors here May in the labyrinth future be. Ah, it comes now dim, now clear . . . Listen, ye seniors, your future is herelv Who is that that trills a bar? Why Leona Biesuz, the great Met star They fill the seats, they pack the aisles, The crowds line up for miles and miles. Look! Who's so resplendent in admiral's blue? It's Robert Cherrone to our navy truel There's Helen Chuppe renowned beautician Winking at Tillie's sly admission That she is still keeping them guessingf' John Grubich ambles down the street CSign of the landing of the lleetj William Heasley glances out of the bank Vice President is now his rank. Hardesty and Zayzus are printed in neon Their music will sound for many an eon. And in white lights on the bright white way Is Exotic Danseur Maris, toast of the day Thus has Export moved to Broadway. Just around the corner is a quaint little place The Colonialn decorous in ruflles and lace. Co-owners of The Colonial are Prosperi and Schell She writes the menus and he minds the bell, Selma Tubbs and Sophie Trzos oft come to dine And rave of Mary Jurkiewicz's latest dress design, Business women Eakman, Hanacik and Cocco Talk, talk, talk, of Rose and Bruno And their little white cottage out Saltsburg Street. A new chain store in the heart of the city Isn't liked by Berkie one little bitty- Karan, Baughman and Jordan aren't exactly mean Although they're competition for Tranchine, Sophie Kuzin edits the women's page In the most circulated paper of this new age, And editor Cno lessj of the New York Times Is a chap you knew well for his polkas and rhymes Right you are-Vic Scarton is his name. Out at the air field business is brisk Training has removed all the risk, Pert Betty Lemmon praises T.W.A. Being secretary there constitutes Her Day. Avaitrix Moonis points up her pretty nose- Claims flying is more interesting than any of her beaus, While down in the lunch room Discussing escapes from doom Sit pilots Pass, Jenko, and Yuda as he,s known. Everyone is talking of that great magician Who can draw from a hat his own nutrition, It's hocus pocus John Mione Whose ways are known to him alone. But lo, the vision fades The glass grows dim Gone are my wicked aides I gasp--Amen.
