All of us play our very best game — Any other time. Golf or billiards, it's all the same — Any other time. Lose a match and you always say, 'Just my luck! I was 'off' to-day! I could have beaten him quite half-way — Any other time!' After a fiver you ought to go — Any other time. Every man that you ask says 'Oh, Any OTHER time. Lend you a fiver! I'd lend you two, But I'm overdrawn and my bills are due, Wish you'd ask me — now, mind you do — Any other time!' Fellows will ask you out to dine — Any other time. 'Not to-night, for we're twenty-nine — Any other time. Not to-morrow, for cook's on strike, Not next day, I'll be out on the bike — Just drop in whenever you like — Any other time!' Seasick passengers like the sea — Any other time. 'Something . . I ate . . disagreed . . with me! Any other time Ocean-trav'lling is . . simply bliss, Must be my . . liver . . has gone amiss . . Why, I would . . laugh . . at a sea . . like this — Any other time.' . . . . . Most of us mean to be better men — Any other time: Regular upright characters then — Any other time. Yet somehow as the years go by Still we gamble and drink and lie, When it comes to the last we'll want to die — Any other time!
