And things that troubled you and I |
We can remember as passed on by,
The thing so many called the flu,
That nearly wrung ourselves in j
too.
J That awful pain all in our head
The aching joints that felt so dead; :
And we, both ladies and gents,
j Felt lots worthless than fifteen
cents,
And how we failed to take on
thrills,
j \Yhile taking dozens of doctors’
pills . . .
And the time we felt it was little
use
To spend our dough for prunes and

The time we called for Doctor I
Blair
And he was sick or wasn’t there,
And Doctor Blair was in his bed
Declaring he was nearly dead . . •
With aches and pains and hurts
and flu,
And in ? worser fix than you
But now it is a wonderful thing
That soon the birds will begin to
