THE HARVEY HOUSE CHIMES ON THE SANTA FE RAILROAD.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Better hurry — do not be late.
Best of food is on the table,
Eat as much as you are able —
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
A welcome waits at every plate.
Shining silver, spotless linen,
Waitresses, all pretty women —
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!”
Ascending sweet from one to eight,
Descending just as sweet to one —
The chimes have stopp'd, the meal's begun.
