Edgar Guest - The World And BudEdgar Guest - The World And Bud
Work rating: Low


If we were all alike, what a dreadful world `twould be! No one would know which one was you or which of us was me. We`d never have a "Skinny" or a "Freckles" or a "Fat," An` there wouldn`t be a sissy boy to wear a velvet hat; An` we`d all of us be pitchers when we played a baseball match, For we`d never have a feller who`d have nerve enough to catch. If we were all alike an` looked an` thought the same, I wonder how`d they call us, `cause there`d only be one name. An` there`d only be one flavor for our ice cream sodas, too, An` one color for a necktie an` I `spose that would be blue; An` maybe we`d have mothers who were very fond of curls, An` they`d make us fellers wear our hair like lovely little girls. Sometimes I think it`s funny when I hear some feller say That he isn`t fond of chocolate, when I eat it every day. Or some other fellow doesn`t like the books I like to read; But I`m glad that we are different, yes, siree! I am indeed. If everybody looked alike an` talked alike, Oh, Gee! We`d never know which one was you or which of us was me.
