When I Take the Count

When I take the long count, buddy, And I hit the good old hay, Don't ask the boss to leave you off And lose a half a day! Just drop around the night before, When the lights are burning low, And shake hands with the neighbors Who are busted up with woe. Don't spend a lot of money In buying me some blooms, Just laugh and kid around the joint, Help chase away the glooms; Spend your jack on extra chow And have some fun awhile, To know that you were happy! That would make me smile.

Busy Bees

There used to be a farmer Known as a stingy man; He toiled and saved his money — And then the fun began. He bought a swarm of honey bees, And took them to the farm; They toiled throughout the summer, They didn't do no harm. They stored a lot of honey In the sunny golden hours; While they rested in the evening, 'Neath the brightly shining stars. But the farmer didn't like it When they quit at close of day; He thought that they were stalling; You see, no work no pay.
