ENTHUSIASM.
564.5

I kind o’ like campaign’ time I like to hear ’em tellさん)
Jes’ what the goverment should do to keep things goin’ well;
I like to hear ’em talk about the cor- poration folks
That holds us common people by the throat; I like the jokes
An’ funny pictures that they print ’bout rival candidates.
It’s fine to be a portion of the crowd that congregates
In a patriotic spirit for the glory of the land.
But best of all I like “three cheers!” ⚫an’ music by the band.

I sometimes don’t exactly know the cause of all the din;
Some feller starts the shoutin’ an’ the rest of us join in;
But it’s kind o’ beneficial now an’ then to raise a cheer,
An’ keep the speaker feelin’ it’s worth while to persevere.
An’ the music they are playin’ when the boys go marchin’ by-
It’s better than an op’ry, an’ the cost ain’t neur so high-
Although there’s often arguments I don’t quite understand.
I’m always in it with “three cheers” an’ music by the band.
