Hold to Light.
With married folks you must agree,
Each day brings something new;
Just hold this to the light and see
What lies in store for you.

Hold to Light.
No doubt you wonder what fair charms
This lady's robe conceals;
A careful glance, upon her arms,
A pretty babe reveals.

Hold to Light.
Like many men you promenade
The streets in faultless clothes;
But the bills for them are yet unpaid,
And your debts! God only knows.

Hold to Light.
Good looks and health are yours to-day,
Young man enjoy them while you may;
Look but behind you, and you'll see
Yourself as some day you may be.

Hold to Light.
Unlucky man, yours is a mournful lot:
To mind the kids and cook the meals,
While wifey joys forbidden steals.
It's better to be single, is it not?

Hold to Light.
You silly girl - you'd be a flirt?
Just put on long skirts, too?
You'd better pray that it won't hurt
When Ma gets after you.

Hold to Light.
This tender-hearted loving boy,
A life of bliss has sought in marriage;
Alas for him! short-lived his joy,
He's doomed to push a baby carriage.

HOLD TO THE LIGHT

Hold to Light card with Man with a cane.

May you speed through the season with zest and elation
And perhaps, now and then, you will make a sensation.
