PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.

VOL. 102.



March 5th, 1892.




POPULAR SONGS RE-SUNG.

Great is the might of the Meaningless! Especially in a rattling refrain
or a rousing chorus. Big drum effects are always popular. What wonder
clever Miss LOTTIE COLLINS'S "_Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay_!" is all the rage?

the utmost _verve_," has taken the town. Will it "mar its use" to
attach a meaning to it? Let us try:--

To-day, to "fetch" Sassiety;
Not too strict, of swagger free,
And as "fly" as "fly" can be.
