An' now sometimes I gets a tip,
A nickel or a dime,
An' sometimes when the biz is dull
I get a little time.

Why don't you know? I am a trot
Down at the new hotel,
It is a mighty shiny place,
An' ev'rything is swell.

You've really been a-chalkin' it?
Well, if yer ain't a cad;
I hope yer've put it rather light,
Then I won't seem so bad.

Day, reditor, I'm much obliged
For such a heap of tin;
But that's the sarvants' gong yer hear
An' I must go ter din.
