The workshops open wide their doors At six o’clock, P. M., And workmen issue forth by scores At six o’clock, P. M. Of all the minutes in array, Or hours that go to make the day, There’s none so welcome, so they say, As six o’clock, P. M. ’Tis six o’clock, ’Tis six o’clock, P. M. Ring out, ye bells, glad whistles blow, ’Tis six o’clock, P. M. How many children show delight At six o’clock, P. M. How many homes are rendered bright At six o’clock, P. M. How many little happy feet Go out into the busy street, With joyous bounds papa to meet, At six o’clock, P. M. Thousand of tables draped in white At six o’clock, P. M. The gathered families invite At six o’clock, P. M. And as they eat their frugal fare, They quite forget their toil and care, And drop their heavy burdens there, At six o’clock, P. M. Then blow, ye shrieking whistles, blow! At six o’clock, P. M. And let the weary toilers go, At six o’clock, P. M. Ring out, releasing bells, ring out! And bid the welkin take the shout, And echo it all round about, “’Tis six o’clock, P. M.”
