Watch
Your Step |
|
Sam Lowenworth
- Joseph Rumshinsky |
America, a land of nothing but
“hurry up!”
One is running to do business, one is running to the shop.
One has a date, she’s running late.
One is running to pinochle, then pays “double bête.”
One is running to a poker game.
One is running to pawn his watch and chain.
One is running to a play, one is running to a cabaret.
One is running to the drugstore because of his upset
stomach.
“Watch your step,” they shout out plain and simple,
“Watch your step,” you can see it everywhere.
In the subway-in the car, up and down the steps-
One is shouting loudly with all his might, “Watch your
step!”
America, a land of nothing but “hurry up!”
One is running to do business, one is running to the shop.
One is running to the store, one is running to the train.
One is running to pawn his watch and chain.
One eats khale every day of the week.
One eats only the hole of the bagel.
One is running to a play, one is running to a cabaret.
One is running to the drugstore because of his upset
stomach.
