Vacation's Coming. (Air, "Kingdom Coming." Pat's Pick, page 22.) 2 Flats. Say, Schoolmates, have you seen Vacation? For I think she's somewhere near; She is standing outside with an invitation, O! I'm glad enough she's here. Of course we all like school in season, And the hardest lessons, too! But I'd like to know if it stands to reason, We should work the whole year through? Chorus—Vacation calls, ha! ha! O! welcome her with glee; Hurra! hurra! for vacation's coming, And the week of jubilee! Say, Teachers, have you seen Vacation, With a smile upon her face! She has come to bring you recreation; She is lingering round the place Of course you love the young idea To be teaching how to shoot; But a look you wear when she draws near, Says that's th' idea to suit. — Cho. Say, Parents, have you seen Vacation? She will visit soon the home; We've the happiest homes in all creation, They'll be happier when she's come. Of course we're glad to give you pleasure, But our lessons now are done; And we hope you'll give us fullest measure Of vacation's sport and fun. —Cho.
