This little sock we give to you

Is not for you to wear;

Please multiply your size by two

And place therein with care,

In pennies or in cents,

Just twice the number that you wear,

(We hope it is immense).

So if you wear a number 10

You owe us 20, see?

Which, dropped into our little sock,

Will fill our hearts with glee.

'Tis all we ask; it isn't much,

And hardly any trouble,

But if you only have one foot,

We'll surely charge you double.

Now, if you have a friend quite dear,

You'd like to bring with you,

Or if you know some one who'd come,

We'll gladly give you two.

So don't forget the place and date—

We'll answer when you knock,

And welcome you with open arms,

But DON'T FORGET YOUR SOCK.
