Just imagine what would happen
If the world were on the square
Every man be on the level.
Strictly honest, straight and fair.
Not a liar, nor a robber, nor a
Swindle, scheme or plot
Would you help it to remain so ?
Why of course you would,—not.
Just imagine what would happen
If the world were on the square.
And you met a brown eyed chicken
With a wealth of yellow hair,
And you thought if she suspected
She would “can” you on the spot
Would you tell her—you are married ?
Why of course you would,—not.
Just imagine what would happen
If you owned an old blind mare.
With a ring bone and a spavin
And the world were on the square
And you had a chance to trade her
For a city house and lot,
Would you mention imperfections ?
Why of course you would,—Not.-
Just imagine what would happen.
In a little social game
If the world were on the level,
And the dealer was the same,
And some honest brother murmured,
“Some one’s shy in this here pot”
Would you decorate the center ?
Why of course you would,—not.
Just imagine what would happen
If the world were on the square
And perchance you were mistaken
For a brother millionare—
And were asked to go to Europe
In a diamond-studded yacht.
Would you tell him he is crazy ?
Why of course you would not ?
Just imagine what would happen
To the price of gasoline.
If a hundred thousand men a day
Each bought a new machine
Would our old friend Coal Oil Johnny
Be contented with his lot ?
If the v^orld were on the level ?
Why of course he would, not.
