Just to Show There's No Ill-Feeling.

A friend of mine said let us go see the play,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling;
When we got to the theatre for tickets I paid,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.
We had just eaten supper, a" table de bote,"
When the first act was over he was handed a note,
then he borrowed a fiver and my overcoat,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.

One night I escorted a young lady home.
Just to show there was no ill-feeling;
Then we stood in the hall in the dark all alone,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.
then she kissed me good-night, and she said, call again,
When I got just outside it was pouring down rain.
And I found she had borrowed my gold watch and chain,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.

One night a policeman looked at me quite black,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling;
Then he hit me a crack with his club on my back,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.
Then he said: "My young man you now seem quite content
To live here in the street and to never pay rent,
And he said, "come with me," and, of course, then I went,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.

Grover Cleveland called Frankie his treasure, his pear),
Just to show there was no ill-feeling;
And together they talked to their sweet baby girl.
Just to show there was no Ill-feeling.
Grover now is as happy, as happy can be.
And he takes little Ruth and sits her on his knee,
Then he tells her some day she will wed babe McKee,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling.
