"THE MAJOR LEAUGER'S DAUGHTER."

But until you show the goods, take a hike back to the woods,
For there's nothing doing here for you to-day—day—day!"

The years went by and Tom improved; his work began to shine,
His batting and his fielding were immense.
His average jumped from .083 around .449,
While every day he splintered up some fence.
But in the meantime Mame's old man began to lose his eye;
They canned him when his salary whip went dead.
So Tom, he passed her up for good, and now she wonders why
Them cruel words unto him once she said:

Chorus.
"I am the only daughter of a major league phenom," etc.
