B. We hain't got no spoons neither.
S. Well, then, how do you do ?
B. Tolerable, thank you; how do you do, sir? (Old man plays the first part again!)

THE DUTCH MUSICIAN,
A Favorite Serio-Comic German Buffo Song.
As sung by Tony Pastor.
(Note.—For the benefit of the English reader, this song is given with the words spelled as pronounced in our language. As it is in the original, a duett, we give it here as such, although sung by Mr. Pastor as a solo, and with immense success.)

SHE.
Ich can spiel so kliena trumroel,
Rub-a-dub-a-dub I dans iest mien trammelf |
