Harry Lauder (4 August 1870 – 26 February 1950) was a widely popular and beloved entertainer in all the English-speaking countries.
All Glory, Lauder, Honour
Harry Lauder in his kilt
Played the the laddie to the hilt,
Filled the balcony and stalls
Of the largest music halls,
Earning thousands on his way
Through the U.S. and UK.
Modern tastes, jejune and jaded,
Thrill to other things than they did.
Harry Lauder, pert and coy,
Would annoy the hoi polloi.
What irony! the connoisseur
Now reveres his tam and burr.
