(Tune: "John Peel.")

Do you ken B. Brown and liis f grocery store, .If you once go there 'you will go some more; You see what you-buy, and you . buy what you ace. And there ne 'er will be cause i'or - mourning-. ' Chorus— Oh, the tones of his ads sth* mo from my bed In the early dawn, e'er the dew iissped; Good news to all, is what is read On Wednesday .and Saturday morning. Do you ken B. Brown'and his grocery price, Do you ken his syrup, sago and rice, The price is LOW and the taste is nice, And it's right at your door every i morning. , | Chorus— Oh there is.no need for a £5 seal, If you want some salt or a liiile meal, To each and all, be the s order small, The price is the same every morning. ; . Chorus— : For his rates are low and his taxes light, And he buys for cash and the goods are right; His grocery list gave L— a fright On. Wednesday a nd Saturday morning. Chorus— Oh the sound of his ad. roused L— from his bed, j And when he arose to his mate he said: j '' Brown's here again, though he should be dead," j On Wednesday and Saturday morning. j Do you ken B. Brown, he's the man to know, i He has ginger and gumption and gameness and go, - I And lie's here to stay, though the donkey bray, I Or it rain tin plates in the morning. Chorus (pianissimo) , Oh the sound of his ad woke L— from his bed, \ And the ground was soaked with the tears he shed; .' (Agitato)— j "What shall I do " were the words he said, j v "Next Wednesday and Saturday morning ? " —J.O, We regret being unable to accept -the above in our £5 competition, as it exceeds the number of lines alowed. f —BERNARD BROWN. 47
