When to Go (Top) — When to Go

When you go a-calling,

Never stay too late;

You will wear your welcome out

If you hesitate!

Just before they’re tired of you,

Just before they yawn,

Before they think you are a Goop,

And wish that you were gone,

While they’re laughing with you,

While they like you so,

While they want to keep you,—

That’s the time to go!
