“GIVE US A CALL.”

[Suggested by seeing these words in a saloon notice.]
GIVE us a call. We keep good beer, Wine, brandy, gin, and whisky here. Our doors are open to boys and men, And even women now and then. We lighten their purse, We taint their breaths, We swell up the column of awful deaths. All kinds of crimes we sell for dimes In our sugared poison so sweet to taste. If you've money, position, or time to waste, . Give us a call.
Give us a call! In a pint of gin We sell more wickedness, Shame, and sin Than a score of clergymen, Preaching all day From dawn to darkness, Could preach away. And in our beer (tho it may take longer To get a man drunk Than drinks that are stronger), We sell our poverty, shame, and wo. Who want to purchase? Our prices are low. Give us a call.
