He sots their hearts all in a glow

And called to see this Painter Brow

: That you have painter! on our girls,
For all the girls in town are silly
To meet this Pink Pajama Willie;

j But the job he did would never pa
Just look around this Seward place

He painted everything in town—
This noted Artist. Front Knd Brov •
He thought he’d like to take a trip
So he made himself a flying ship;
He painted it nil nice awl green.
Then started up his new Machine,
He painted towns as he flew by.
And painted air ships on tbo fly;
He painted caps on every wave.
And painted Kaiser’s William’s gra\ '
TTe painted night as bright as day;
He painted Parlev-Vous Fran Cais,
He painted all along the line.
He painted Sammy On the Rhine;
All Germany, he painted too,
He painted it red, white and blue,
TTe painted soldiers on the hill,
TTe painted stripes on Kaiser Bill;
TTe painted every one he met.
He painted Uncle Sammies Pep;
He tainted two eyes on the moon
So ho can watch the lovers spoon;
He turned his ship around this way
And started in to paint the Way,
The paint he had made quite a load
So he had to paint a decent road;
He. painted up until the last
And nainted Valdez as he past;
He started in to paint his bed
When some one knocked him on hi-*
* head:
4<Wake up” he said, to Front F’>d
Brown.
“You’ll wake un every one in town.”
TTo woke up with an awful sob —
T’H never paint another job;
Its toe had “Front End Biown” got
sore,
Before he painted prices lower.
We’ll erect a monument here in to'vn
For this Box- Gar Artist, Front F 'd
