I USED TO WORK IN CHICAGO

I used to work in Chicago, at the Boston Store,
In the pastry department I did but I don't any more.
A woman came in and asked for some pastry,
I asked her what kind at the door,
"Rolls," she said - so roll her I did,
Now I don't work there any more.

Hard ware - screws, tools.
Music -   jazz
Clothing - sweaters
Cards - poker
Candy - sucker
Cake - layer
Soft drinks - pop
Hat - felt
Girdle - rubber
Stocking - hose
