Autumn

Dick and Will and Charles and I Were playing it was election day, And I was running for president, And Dick was a band that was going to play,

And Charles and Will were a street parade, But Clarence came and said that he Was going to run for president, And I could run for school-trustee.

He made some flags for Charles and Will And a badge to go on Dickie's coat. He stood some cornstalks by the fence And had them for the men that vote.

Then he climbed on a box and made a speech To the cornstalk men that were in a row. It was all about the dem-o-crats, And "I de-fy any man to show."

And "I de-fy any man to say." And all about "It's a big disgrace." He spoke his speech out very loud And shook his fist in a cornstalk's face.
