The Man Behind

THE MAN BEHIND
5982

There’s a fat girl on the trolley car and she’s a blooming peach,
She’s standing on her toes to keep the strap within her reach,
The car is going round the curve and she lets go the strap,
Tis the man behind the paper gets the fat girl in his lap

The man behind, the man behind,
He’s the wisest man that we will ever find;
Tis the man behind that stops,
The fat girl when she flops,
So always try to be the man behind

When the man in front is walking with a lady on thestreet
The day is dull and rainy and there’s mud upon her feet,
The lady holds her skirts up high, her stockings are of lile,
Tis the man behind that gets a peep, and follows her a mile

The man behind, the man behind,
He’s the wisest man that we will ever find,
Tis the man behind that knows,
All the latest styles in hose,
So always try to be the man behind
