The patients listen at their ease,
Through clouds of strong tobacco smoke:
The gramophone can always please. (Eva Dobell)

Through the long ward the gramophone Grinds out its nasal melodies: "Where did you get that girl?" it shrills. The patients listen at their ease, Through clouds of strong tobacco smoke: The gramophone can always please.
