[Verse:]
|
Some folks who don't know what to do with their evenings
|
Up till dawn with their dress clothes on they will roam
|
Dancing 'round in a Cabaret
|
Homeward bound at the break of day
|
I have found that it doesn't pay
|
So I'd rather stay at home
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
With my little book of poetry
|
Let me while the hours away
|
|
Reading the poets of olden times
|
Meeting the girls they dressed up in rhymes
|
|
I will never ask for company
|
When the skies of blue turn to gray
|
|
Mister Kipling and Poe are the best friends I know
|
At the end of a weary day
|
