Low
I`ve sipped a rich man`s sparkling wine,
His silverware I`ve handled.
I`ve placed these battered legs of mine
`Neath tables gayly candled.
I dine on rare and costly fare
Whene`er good fortune lets me,
But there`s no meal that can compare
With those the missus gets me.
I`ve had your steaks three inches thick
With all your Sam Ward trimming,
I`ve had the breast of milk-fed chick
In luscious gravy swimming.
To dine in swell cafe or club
But irritates and frets me;
Give me the plain and wholesome grub —
The grub the missus gets me.
Two kiddies smiling at the board,
The cook right at the table,
The four of us, a hungry horde,
To beat that none is able.
A big meat pie, with flaky crust!
`Tis then that joy besets me;
Oh, I could eat until I "bust,"
Those meals the missus gets me.
