Oh! You City Slickers
By Gordon Campbell.
’Twas down in the Lehigh Valley
That me and my pal, Lou,
Was workin’ in a hash house,
An’ a pretty good one too.
It was there that I met Gonzola;
She was the village belle,
Now I was only a waiter,
But I loved that gal like everything.
Then along come a city feller,
A slick haired son of the idle,
An’ stole my darling little Lou
To slip on the marriage bridle.
So fill up the glasses, stranger,
An’ I’ll be on my way;
I’ll get the guy that stole my gal,
If it takes till the judgment day.

Our Paris Letter
A Jack Johnson burst over the shell hole into which Pat and Mike had
crawled. “Oi’ve been shot in the foot,” said Pat. Mike immediately placed
Pat on his shoulder and started for the hospital. On his way there
another shell took off Pat’s head. Arriving at the first aid station, the
sentry hailed Mike.
“No use bringing any dead men in here,” he said. “That fellow’s head has
been shot off.”
“Why, the son-of-a-gun,” exclaimed Mike, “he told me it was his foot.”

Oh, Pickle My Bones
Pat—“Well, Mike, I just saw a doctor about my loss of memory.”
Mike—“What did he do?”
Pat—“He made me pay in advance.”
