It All Depends.
Driving utos Isn't pleaoant;
There Is such a great ado
Made about the reckless pedlnf.
And It's risky business too.
Gasoline and dust and cinders
All one's pleasures greatly mar.
But perhaps I wouldn't think so
If I owned a motor car.
Horse shows, (rolling, yachting, hunting,
Racing, traveling everywhere.
With one's name In all the papers.
For these things I wouldn't care.
Beems to ine that they are foolish:
Wouldn't like them, I am sure.
But perhaps I wouldn't feci so
If I had a sinecure.
Dissipation In the swell set
Really Is deplorable.
Though a lot of foolish people
Think It quite adorable.
But they're simple folk and stupid.
And In nothing they excel.
But perhaps I wouldn't think so
If I were a howling swell.
Moneyed men are hard and cruel.
Causing lots of pain and woe,
Bapplng up the life of others
Vamplre-like where'er they go.
Such a Ufe Is soul destroying,
Hollow, blase, full of care.
But perhaps I wouldn't think KJ
