Edgar Guest - The Sensible Romance Of Mildred
Work rating: Low

MILDRED McGee was a beautiful blond, 
As fair as peroxide could make her. 
She was never so shy that a man going by 
Would imagine that she was a Quaker. 
She had suitors that called every night in the week
And one of them worked in a shoe shop, 
But her "favor-ite" man was a chap named McGann 
Who was boss of a gang in a glue shop.

Her folks used to scoff at young Patrick McGann
For they wished her to marry a plumber; 
But Mildred was true to the maker of glue,
Though she flirted at times with a drummer. 
Though she flirted at times with the pharmacist`s clerk,
And she flirted at times with the baker, 
She stuck to McGann, the glue factory man.
Not a bit could her fond parents shake her.

"You`re in awful bad odor," she said, "with my folks,
When you come they both turn up their noses; 
But I said when they kicked, that the plumber they`ve picked
Isn`t scented with attar of roses. 
When a girl is in love with a fellow, I`ve found 
There`s something inside her that rages; 
An` I`d rather be true to a sweetheart like you 
Than a sweet-smelling chap with no wages. 

"There`s many fine fellows who brag of their jobs
An` spend all their coin in a brew shop; 
An` take it from me, I`d much rather be 
The wife of the man in a glue shop. 
Not all of us girls can get married to dudes 
An` college professors an` scholars; 
With you I`m content, I`ll not stop at a scent 
So long as you bring in the dollars."
