Cheered,
And nobody helped us along,
If each, every minute looked af-

And the good things all went to

If anybody cared just a little for
you,
And nobody cared for me,
And we all stood alone in the
' |'battle of life,
What a dreary old world this
I;? would be.
Life is sweet just because of the
• friends we have made
And the things which in common
• we share,
We want to live on, not because
’•lift of ourselves.
