A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful
Let the band play a waltz into mischief
The chairman is speaking … instructs the apprentice
All faces are turned … to the wizard of sentence
Years of experience … fall from his tongue
Like teardrops to puddles … they rippled among
A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful
Let the band play a waltz into mischief
This kid of the cowboys … of fastest deception
Writes down his kiddings … to ruptuous reception
Calls on the crowd … of white-pointed heads
To check on the carpets … while we’re in our beds
(Nelly the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus)
A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful
Let the band play a waltz into mischief
A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful
Let the band play a waltz into mischief
A big hand, hurray! Oh come on you trustful
Let the band play a waltz into mischief
