First Line: A kindly old musician named dewitt alonzo throte
Last Line: For the buying of a paper is the recognized encore!
Subject(s): Singing & Singers


A kindly old musician named DeWitt Alonzo Throte
Has taught the newsboys in his town to cry their wares by note.
They sing the last edition to the strains of "Bonnie Doon,"
And celebrate the accidents with voices all in tune.
The basses and the tenors roam in couples through the street,
And serenade with sweet duets the travellers they meet.
Their sales are twice as many as they ever were before,
For the buying of a paper is the recognized encore!
