`` I wonder how many more such tricks he knows ! '' Presently came `` The Army Lancers , '' and that brought out a right royal good cheer . Two numbers after that , came `` A Life on the Ocean Wave , '' and more cheers . It was after three in the morning when the gay affair broke up . But who cared for that ? Class balls come but once a year . Right after `` Home , Sweet Home , '' which wound up the ball , the orchestra added a number , `` The Star Spangled Banner . ''
