Split-back . [caption] Ladies ! Lest You Forget ! "IT'S UP TO YOU! " IT'S LEAP YEAR , 1908 HOW TRUE ! Since time immemorial In matters matrimonial ; The "unwritten law " and task- Has been- that the man- The maid should "ASK. " But Now : "It's Leap Year " 1908 , Oh ! Ladies , if for a man you yearn , Do Not Hesitate ! It's your turn . We are ready drive up to the gate , And draw us to your bosom . Remember : "It's Leap Year " 1908 . Men may act coy , and let ladies choose 'em , Clasp our waist and kiss us too- Hasten and help to join us as "ONE " Instead of remaining a cold and distant two .
