The shirt-waist man will win renown,
When he appears in this old town;
If he is anything like this,
The sight will give the small boy bliss,
And all the gaping folk will scan
The make-Up of the shirt-wait man.
The kooky thing this man is doing is wearing a shirt - without a coat over it. Scandalous!
