The Best Drink.
When the south winds mence to blowin
An the days is long and hot ;
An you sweat n sweat n swelter '
But help it you can not.
Just listen for a moment
And let me make it clear:
There's nothing that'll cool you
Like a good, cold glass of lemonade!
IVe tried your koka-kolas
An your root-beer and your pop.
Your cocktails too IVe guzzled,
Oh, IVe sampled all the lot ;
But for genuine satisfaction
There aint no drink, I fear
That comes up to the standard
Of a good, cold glass of lemonade!
Oh -My! PtZM
