BAR

IT WAS LATE IN THE EVENING,
THE GUESTS WERE ALL LEAVING
O'LEARY WAS CLOSING THE BAR.
WHEN HE STEPPED UP AND SAID,
TO THE LADY IN RED,
"GO HOME, YOU CAN'T STAY WHERE YOU ARE,"
GENTLEMAN DAPPER STEPPED OUT OF THE CRAPPER,
AND THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT HE SAID,
"DID YOUR MOTHER NEVER TELL YOU,
ABOUT THE WAYS OF COLLEGE MEN...."

Submitter comment: INFORMANT CAN'T REMEMBER THE REST OF IT. IT IS A SONG.
