Can Macy Do Without Me? 1921 Romberg

There is many a man
whom in bus'ness began
with experience smaller than mine,
I've at least served a term
with each prominent firm,
in most ev'ry conceivable line.
There was never a place
My intelligent face
Didn't make the boss
jump to employ me,
But relations grew strained
and I never remained
to become a downtrodden employee.

It was all through a thimble
I parted with Gimble,
an axe split relations with Saks,
I wasn't the feller
for Bonwit and Teller,
and several others,
including Stern Brothers.
I wouldn't take kidding from Gidding,
Now Franklin and Simon Legree,
I know I can do without Macy,
it's true,
But can Macy do without me?

It was all through a thimble
I parted with Gimble,
an axe split relations with Saks,
I wasn't the feller
for Bonwit and Teller,
and several others,
including Stern Brothers.
I wouldn't take kidding from Gidding,
Now Franklin and Simon Legree,
I know I can do without Macy,
it's true,
But can Macy do without me?
