Love under the Republicans (Or Democrats) br br Ogden Nash br (1902-1971) br br br Come live with me and be my love br And we will all the pleasures prove br Of a marriage conducted with economy br In the Twentieth Century Anno Donomy. br We’ll live in a dear little walk-up flat br With practically room to swing a cat br And a potted cactus to give it hauteur br And a bathtub equipped with dark brown water. br We’ll eat, without undue discouragement, br Foods low in cost but high in nouragement br And quaff with pleasure, while chatting wittily, br The peculiar wine of Little Italy. br We’ll remind each other it’s smart to be thrifty br And buy our clothes for something-fifty. br We’ll bus for miles on holidays br For seas at depressing matinees, br And every Sunday we’ll have a lark br And take a walk in Central Park. br And one of these days not too remote br You’ll probably up and cut my throat.
