You are no doubt familiar with songs about the old lamplighter and the old umbrella man and the old garbage collector and all these lovable old characters who go around spreading sweetness and l

When the shades of night are falling,
Comes a fellow ev'ryone knows,

It's the old dope peddler
With his powdered ha-happiness.
