OR WOULD YOU RATHER...
Sir-May I submit the following additional verse for one of our betterknown classics: Or would you like to swing on a star, Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are, Or would you rather be a "Bing?" A "Bing" is an animal that snorts, squawks, and groans With queer vocal cadences and moans; He’s got no volume, and his timbre’s weak, His low notes gurgle and his high notes squeak, So would you like to learn to sing? Or would you rather be a Bing! "THE RUSTLE OF BING" (New Brighton).
