Puts in describing up a show,
But, kiddo, you have put the bee
On father, surest thing you know.
You make an awful splash with me.

Yop, I'm your little katydid;
Just listen to my chirp of woe;
And now I've made my little bid--
You get it? Follow me? Right-O!
If I could shoot like Eddie Poe,
I guess that you'd be h-e-p,
But here's the bet, now cop it, bo,
You make an awful splash with me.



L'ENVOI


Well, this is where the stuff I stow,
According to old Francois V;
But--once again before I blow--
You make an awful splash with me.
