“I don't know what we're going to de;
For people aren’t aick like they used to be.
And I’ll tell you the reaaon, ’twixt you and mo;
The people are healthy because they eat
The very beat of good fresh meat;
And the very beat ihey are sure to get
When they go to COYLFS, you can aaf ly bet.
Their meat ia alwaya tender and nice,
And they sell them, too, at a moderate price.
1 think it a mean and acurvy trick,
For now the people sever get aick."
