Classic Poem

VERSE

What's the news?
What's the word?
What's the time?
Haven't you heard?
The future is just terrific and thanks to Grover Whalen
Mankind will move from the Y-M-C-A to the Weylin.

REFRAIN

Sweet bye and bye,
Sweet land of milk and honey,
Let's you and I
Hold out for apple pie in the sky,
It's the sweet bye and bye.
Clouds roll away,
Let's grab the silver lining.
Here's your bouquet,
Our ship is sailing home up the bay.
Christmas comes ev'ry day,
Fool ev'ry clock in town,
Turn the calendar upside down,
Eat our cake and have it too,
Do it up brown.
Sweet bye and bye,
We're knee-deep in confetti,
Rain turns to rye,
There's caviar for all in the street,
In the sweet bye and bye.
