TO BED, TO BED 
 SAID SLEEPY- HEAD 
 
TO bed, to bed, said sleepy 
 head 
 Let's tarry a while, said the 
 
 winner, 
 Your luck will turn on a red, 
 
 white and blue, 
 So let the jack-pot simmer. 
 
MOTHER, MAY I GO OUT 
 TO MANILA? 
 
MOTHER, may 
 I go out to 
 Manila? 
 Yes, my darling

 But mind the sea is

 You may cast your 
 bread on the water.

 her time.

SING A SONG OF SIX PENCE 
 A COLONEL FULL OF RYE 
 
SING a song of six pence, 
 A Colonel full of rye, 
 Wishes he could creep to bed, 
 And dodge his dear wife's eye. 
 
 But when the door is opened, 
 His wife begins to scold, 
 
 Now isn't that a cruel way 
 To treat a Colonel bold? 
 
 The Colonel's been to the Club all night, 
 At bridge a-losing money, 
 
 His wife has waited long for him, 
 She will not call him "Honey." 
 
 The cook was in the kitchen 
 A- warming of her toes, 
 
 When along came the striker 
 And kissed her 'neath her nose.

RIDE A Q.M. HORSE 
 THE COUNTRY ACROSS 
 
RDE a Q. M. horse the country 
 across, 
 And you will come home very much 
 
 at a loss 
 To know how on earth your dinner 
 
 you'll eat 
 
 Since you're sure you would rather 
 not sit on a seat

 And he jollied the chorus girls three.

LIEUTENANT JACK HORNER

SIMPLE SIMON MET A GENERAL 
 
SIMPLE SIMON met a 
 General, 
 
 On an Army transport; 
 Simple Simon licked his boots, 
 For this was Simon's forte. 
 Quoth Simon, "I am mak- 
 ing good," 
 
 His head inflated grew; 
 But, alas! when they reached 
 
 Manila 
 
 He was sent to the tall bam- 
 boo. 
 
JACK AND JILL 
 
 WENT UP THE HILL UPON THE 
 WATER WAGON

 Upon the water wagon;

 And broke their crown, 
 The fatal result of painting the town.

 SHE'S BIG IN THE MIDDLE 
 
HEY! diddle, diddle, 
 She's big in the middle, 
 She can't wear her new tube gown ; 
 But get her some stays 
 That lace up both ways, 
 She will not be so 
 big around 
 
RICHARD AND ROBERT WERE 
 TWO PRETTY AIDES

 Who to bed went at dawn with two 
 
 aching heads; 
 At eleven a. m. Robert leaped from 
 
 his bed, 
 "Oh, Richard, the General will be 
 
 waiting," he said. 
 
 "Shut up," said Richard, "don't make 
 such a fuss ; 
 
 The General was fuller than 
 either of us."

 go boozing again.

THE COLONEL'S WIFE AND 
 THE CAPTAIN'S WIFE 
 
THE Colonel's wife and the Cap- 
 tain's wife 
 
 Were fighting for the prize, 
 And scarcely had the game begun, 
 
 Before the guests were wise; 
 The hostess held her breath for fear 
 They'd scratch each other's eyes.

THERE was a little girl and she

 And when she was good, she was 
 horrid.

 BAA, baa, black sheep, 
 You must have some pull. 
 Yes, sir; yes, sir; 
 
 Washington is full 
 Of Generals and Senators 
 
 That my near kin be, 
 If it were not for their kindness, 
 Out of service I would be. 
 
 47
