Charlie Kane

q2l

T here is a man—a certain man
And for the poor you may be sure
That he’ll do all he can !
Who is this one ?
This fav’rite son ?
Just by his action
Has the traction magnates on the run ?
Who loves to smoke ?
Enjoys a joke ?
Who wouldn’t get a bit upset
If he were really broke ?
With wealth and fame
He’s still the same
I’ll bet you five you’re not alive
If you don’t know his name
What is his name?…
It’s Charlie Kane .
CROWD: It’s Mister Kane .
He doesn’t like that Mister
He likes good old Charlie Kane .
Who says a miss was made to kiss ?
And when he meets one always tries to do exactly this ?
Who buys the food ?
Who buys the drinks ?
Who thinks that dough was made to spend ?
And acts the way he thinks ?
Now is it Joe ?
CROWD: No, no, no, no !
I’ll bet you ten you aren’t men
If you don’t really know !
