Oh, give me a Regular chance in life,
The same as the rest, I pray,
And give me a Regular girl for wife
To help me along the way;
Let us know the lot of humanity,
Its regular woes and joys,
And raise a Regular family
Of Regular girls and boys!

Let me live to a Regular good old age,
With Regular snow-white hair,
Having done my labor and earned my wage
And played my game for fair,
And so at last when the people scan
My face on its peaceful bier,
They'll say, —Well, he was a Regular Man!—
And drop a Regular tear.

- Berton Braley
