THE WAITERS(Two More to Come)
Copyright, 1883, by Wm. A. Pond & Co.
Words by Edward Harrigan. Music by Dare Braham.

Oh, here we are so neat and sable, ready for to wait on table;
Every coon is clean and able, hotel waiters at your call;
Bring you any kind of dishes dat a gent or lady wishes;
Meat and fowl or any fishes, bread and butter, codfish balls.
Obadiah, ober dar! Wilbur, Clement, Hildebran',
Moses, Gabriel, Theodore, Washington and Dan.

Chorus.
Roast beef, corn beef ala mode, dumpling ala Saratoga,
Beef-steak pie or mutton-chops, now have them rare or else well done;
Fricassee and Irish chowder, Charlotte Russe with sugar powder.
Please send down dat order louder! dar is now two more to come.

We'll bring you dishes cooked to order, suit most any kind of boarder;
Every coon an old eighth warder; lots of goose-goose on de bar;
Bring you juicy apple fritters, lively cheese without the skippers;
Anything you mind to slip us, here's your check, pay at do bar.
Obadiah, ober dar! Wilbur, Clement, Hildebran',
Moses, Gabriel, Theodore, Washington and Dan.-Chorus.
