When you're at tea and storms
abound
And your brui t sinks low,
And your knees do shake.
And hurrlcans make furious sound,
And from stem to stern
The ship does quake,
To whom do you look to steer you
round?
Is It the ship?
Or the MEN'S steady nerve!
When Jap and Russian men of war,
Of which Jsp hnd few,
And the Rums a score
Mot who got that terrible Jar
It Just huppened then
As It happened bo fore,
Sweet Vlcfry cum to the Japanese
Tar!
It wsm't the ships,
But the MEN, who
how!
kntw
When armies meet In fierce array
And the sabres flash,
And the cannons roar,
And the men full prone, while women
pray
And old Mother Earth
Is wet with rd gore,
Who does the work that dm-Me the
Jay.
Is It the gun?
Or the MAN'S steady eye!
When In tirod of ctothlng or hats,
And you are In doubt
As to where to trail
Don't go where the slow croaker
squats.
See the nervy mnn
Who's not afraid
To get the new styles,
To clean out old blots.
It Is not the store
Hut the MAN with the Bush!
Do you know, the MAN In this town
The Mun with much Push,
With great Enterprise;
Hits always a smite, seldom a frown
Of course, you can guess,
It's HERMAN WISE
The CLOTHIER, who does things up
brown,
While he has THE store.
He's the MAN with great vim!
Herman Wise,
The Reliable Clothier and Hatter.
