The "New, New Song."
When all the world is Morgan's, lad,
and all the seas between;
And every lamb a Sage, lad, and every
lass a Green;
Then hey for automobile, lad, and to
Wall street away;
Young bulls must make their
pile, lad, or bears may have their day.
When all the oil is Rockefeller's, and
all the stocks are Hill's;
And all the railways Vanderbilt's, or
Gould's, or D. O. Mills';
To England in your airship, lad, of
Schwab and Yerkes the peer;
God grant you find a billion there, to
found a college here.
