The Masked Lunatic .
Come dear let us talk and play ,
Lending no ear to what they say ,
We would make the present the rime of the day.
Look at me ,ask ,what I got in life ,
With a love-loran swine eloped the wife ,
Should I cry ,or another try ?
And you who never did marry ,
Wear the malty of many a story ,
And prove a river to dip a bath !
Oh! No let us go and beguile ,
We would not leave any profile ,
Let us fuss with wild smiles !
I know you claim no interest,
My allotted time is going to over ,
And another client is coming in the gate .
I wanted to unburden my clumsy odds ,
For ,neither I prayed nor submitted to God ,
I was ambitious and a whole-time hoard .
Hey , let me book another night ,
I forward a cheque for time-ride ,
Tell your Madame ,you are well paid .
Ah! Money , I have enough ,
But sorry ,they prove scorpions in my tub ,
Oh! I have no note to play on my broken harp !
Yes ,yes I have eaten ,lots of yellow -green ,
A museum of faces with different screens ,
Politicians ,film stars , and bottle- teens .
Hi perhaps ,you want to ask ,
What kind of service I demand from your task ,
You may go ,I don't know ,I think I am a mask !
