FOUNTENNIAL 1923 THE SLANG OF THE DAY The slang of our day is a puzzle Invented by ah-who can tell? A drink is a smile or a guzzle A swindle is merely a sell. One tells you a tale you can't swaller He tells you by thunder 'tis trueg You bet him your last bottom dollar By thunder that's all you can do. They ask you how goes it on meeting Take care of yourself is adieu. They substitute beating for cheating And sometimes combine both the two. If foolish your head isn't level, Or maybe your head isn't Hclearf' Instead of saying go to the devil They tell you walk oft' on your ear. To praise you they say you are bully, For honest they nickname you square Although pleased to understand fully There's not many that way, I swear. While sobbing they call going through you, And go to him means an attack. When financial troubles come to you They say O he's up on his back. Tussel oil is the new name for whiskey, SponduliX Cog nomen for pelf. You've been there when charged as to frisky Well you know how it is yourself And if proper reproof you should offer They tell you that game is quite played Say walk off you big dirty bucket Or a large Mansard roof will be made. Then sometimes you're cornered or enchered, That is if you're in a fix. They call you a galoot if unturtored In every galoot's knavish tricks. There are that's what the matter with Hannah And dead beats on every side, If the skunks won't alter their manners I don't give a cuss let 'em slide.
