My Little Book Of Poetry 1921 "1st Music Box Show 1921-22"

Some folks who don't know
what to do with their evenings
up till dawn with their dress clothes on
they will roam
dancin' round in a Cabaret
Homeward bound at the break of day
I have found that it doesn't pay
so I'd rather stay at home

With my little book of poetry
let me while the hours away.
Reading the poets of olden times,
meeting the girls they dressed up in rhymes
I will never ask for company.
When the skies of blue turn grey,
Mister Kipling and Poe,
are the best friends I know,
at the end of a weary day.

at the end of a weary day.
