“The Average Boy”
Description
A southern alphabet song: "A is the green apple with bites all around, B is the ball that is lost on the ground, C is the cigarette making him pale... Yell is the yell he emits all the day, Z is for zeal he shows in his play."
Notes
The title of this song refers, of course, to all the traits found in the "average boy." - RBW
