C THE ROMANCE or CHARLIE CHARCOAL AND LULA LAMPBLACK Lula was the prettiest girl, ln all the colored section, When you looked at her shining cheek, You could see your own reflection. Her lips were red, the prettiest smile, For a kiss you would want to ask her. Take it from me, kid, donlt you do itg Her mother was from Madagascar. Now Charlie was a handsome boy: They called him Snowball Nickf' He always wore the nicest clothes, His hair was always slick. A case of love, without a doubt, When Lula she was spied, And when Charlie spoke to her, The blushes she couldn't hide. He loved her dearly, and with a sigh, At parting a kiss he gave. He patted her hair with his hand, And spoiled her permanent wave. On nights when the moon was shining, He would hold her in his arms, And tell his little sweetheart Of all her endearing charms. He would tell her that, with such a love, In the world he would succeed, And provide his little darlifng With pretty clothes and feed. In June they were to be married, What a darling little bride. Vlfhen she was away from him, For her he always sighed. Alone over the world he travelsg Over countries both long and wide. The romance has long since ended, For Lula up and died. -WAINWRIGHT POTTER '28
