It
doesn’t cost a penny, no matter who you be,
To
wish a man “good morning” an’ thereby let him see
You
know that he is livin’, an’ know he’s human, too;
It’s
better for the fellow, it’s better, too, for you.
It
doesn’t cost a penny to always be polite
An’
if the world would heed it, there’d never be a fight.
Just
think how very happy our lives would be an’ true,
If
ev’ryone would whisper: “Alphonso, after you.”
