Explore "Thrills of a Bell Boy" by Samuel Ellsworth Kiser on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
IF I would get to be a millionaire / And didn't have to work or anything, / I'd go and buy a dimun' stud and ring / And open up a swell hotel somewhere / And be head clerk myself, and have my hair / All curled and fixed like Morton's is, and fling / On agony as though I'd be a king / And had a throne behind the counter there.
The guy that owns this joint ain't got no style: / He wears his whiskers down around his neck: / I'll bet that I'd have shiners by the peck / If I was in his place and had his pile.
