We don’ t get any too much light;
It’ s pretty noisy, too, at that;
The folks next door stay up all night;
There’ s but one closet in the flat;
The rent we pay is far from low;
Our flat is small and in the rear;
But we have looked around, and so
We think we’ ll stay another year.
Our dining-room is pretty dark;
Our kitchen’ s hot and very small;
The “view” we get of Central Park
We really do not get at all.
The ceiling cracks and crumbles down
Upon me while I’ m working here —
But, after combing all the town,
We think we’ ll stay another year.
We are not “handy” to the sub;
Our hall-boy service is a joke;
Our janitor’ s a foreign dub
Who never does a thing but smoke;
Our landlord says he will not cut
A cent from rent already dear;
And so we sought for better — but
We think we’ ll stay another year.
