COMIN' THROUGH THE TOWN by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: IF AN AUTO MEET AN AUTO
Last Line: AS I GO SCORCHING BY.

If an auto meet an auto
Scorching to the train,
If an auto smash an auto,
Will a cop complain?
Of all the Force there's none, of course,
I canna' handle well;
But how I play that little game
I dinna' care to tell.

I've a purse well stocked wi' siller,
I've a temper gay;
Money saves a peck o' trouble,
Money finds a way.
Many a chauffeur gets a "record,"
Nane, they say, ha'e I;
And all the cops they smile on me
As I go scorching by.
