They manage to get quite deep in debt By various crooked ways ; And so we say that the man to-day Is the honest man who pays. When in the town he never sneaks down Some alley or way-back street ; With head erect he will never deflect. But boldly each man will meet. He counts the cost* before he is lost In debt's mysterious maze. And he never buys in manner unwise. But calls for his bills and pays. Th ore's a certain air of debonnair In the man who buys for cash ; He is not afraid of being betrayed By a jack-leg shyster's dash.
