The "Oh, you kid"s, the marathons

  A♯ The baF♯7thtub gin, F7hungover dawns

  A♯ The round-framed picture, the flat straw hat

  F7 The long-nosed roadster at a mile a minute flat

The bell-bottom pants, the fine silk vest

[N.

Are all tucked away in her cedar chest

Slender legs in their paisley best

All tucked away in her mini-dress
