JUST NONSENSE

 JUST NONSENSE 

(HYMN)

 It was midnight on the ocean, 
Not a street car was in sight, 
The sun was shining brightly, 
For it rained all day thar night.

Twas a summer's day in winter, 

The rain was snowing fast, 

As a barefoot girl with shoes on, 

Stood sitting on the grass.

It was evening, and the rising sun 

Was setting in the West, 

While the little fishes in the trees 

Were cuddled in their nest.

The rain was pouring down, 

The sun was shining bright,

And everything that you could see 

Was hidden out of sight.  

Then the organ pealed potatoes, 

Lard was rendered by the choir, 

While the sexton rang a dish rag, 

Someone set the church on fire.

"Holy Smoke!" the preacher shouted, 

As he madly tore his hair; 

Now his head resembles Heaven, 

For there is no parting there.
