Which is the right life

The simple or the night life?

When, pray, should one rise

At sunset or at sunrise?

Which should be upper

My breakfast or my supper?

Which is the right life

Which?

If the wood nymph left the park

Would Park Avenue excite her?

Would the glowworm trade her spark

For the latest Dunhill lighter?

Here's a question I would pose

Tell me which the sweeter smell makes

The aroma of the rose

Or the perfume that Chanel makes?

Which land is dreamier

Arcadia or Bohemia?

Who'll tell me the answer

The daisy or the dancer?

Which life is for me

The peaceful or the stormy?

Which is the right man

Walt Whitman or Paul Whiteman

Which?

Should I read Euripides or continue with The Graphic?

Hear the murmur of the breeze or the roaring of the traffic?

Should I make one man my choice

And regard divorce as treason

Or should I, like Peggy Joyce

Get a new one ev'ry season?

Which is the right life

The simple or the night life?

When, pray, should one rise

At sunset or at sunrise?

Which should be upper

My breakfast or my supper?

Which is the right life

Which?
