Exit Madge

by

Listen in the reader

Madge has moved back to the city, With her year and a half of good cheer. The neighborhood sighs, the neighborhood cries; The neighborhood’s dismal and drear.

Madge has moved back to the city, And left a young lover behind, Who, mourning her loss, is excessively cross, And very unwilling to mind.

Madge has moved back to the city, With her smile and her curls and her fun. And to make matters worse, she has taken her nurse, Who took such good care of our son.
