Words:

A Merry
Christmas
And A happy
New Year.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS,
HERE WE GO;

BLESS ME, THE TRAIN IS
EXCEEDINGLY SLOW!

PRAY, Mr ENGINEER,
GET UP YOUR STEAM,

AND LET US BE OFF,
WITH A PUFF AND A SCREAM!

WE SHALL HAVE SPORT
WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES,

WHEN "SNAP DRAGON"
BURNS OUR FINGERS AND THUMBS:

WE'LL HANG MISTLETOE
OVER OUR DEAR LITTLE COUSINS,

AND PULL THEM BENEATH IT
AND KISS THEM BY DOZENS:

WE'LL CROWN THE PLUM-PUDDING
WITH BUNCHES OF BAY,

AND ROAST ALL THE CHESTNUTS
THAT COME IN OUR WAY.

                                   ELIZA COOK.
