You may be happy if you’re wise!
Though bored you lie with Pantomime
And Christmas fare and Christmas rhyme—
One fine old custom don’t despise.
If you’re a man of enterprise
You’ll find, I venture to surmise,
Tis pleasant then at Christmas-time
‘Neath Mistletoe!
You see they scarcely can disguise
The sparkle of their pretty eyes;
And no one thinks it is a crime,
When goes the merry Christmas chime,
A rare old rite to exercise
‘Neath Mistletoe!
