Fronting the highroad, fair to see, the Service Station stands, The Service Man is frank and free, his Pleasant grin expands, For blythe is he whate'er mdy be The customer's demands.

And he can beat the fender straight or Cleanse the car of mire, Or feed the bearings all the oil that Bearings should require. Or fill with gas the reservoir, or patch The riven tire.

"The rivulet will run its purring course to the sea, the timid desert fowers will put forth their tender shoots, the glorious valleys of this imperial domain will blossom as the ros+still, you won't be here to see.

"F'rom every tree top some wild woods songster will carol his mating song, butterfies will sport in the sunshine, the busy bee will hum happily as it pursues its accustomed vocation, the gentle breeze will tease the tassels of the wild grasses, and all nature-Jose Manuel Miguel Xavier Gonzales-will be glad, but you.
