LOVE'S SECRET, by ROBERT PECK BATES
First Line: Well I know she is not handsome
Last Line: Of my madeline.
Subject(s): Comedy
First Line: Well I know she is not handsome
Last Line: Of my madeline.
Subject(s): Comedy
WELL I know she is not handsome,
She can neither sing nor dance,
But I strangely am attracted
By each careless nod and glance
Of my Madeline.
Quite a philanthropic feeling
Is my love, so true and rare,
For she's burdened with great riches;
In which burden I would share
With my Madeline.
From such heavy care to shield her,
Each and every purpose tends.
I will help to clip the coupons,
And I'll draw the dividends
Of my Madeline.
