Thinks he's very smart
Snaps the whip a little,
Gives the nags a start,
Girls and gallants mixing
In an awkward way,
Bless me, how delightful
Riding in sleigh!
Round the corner rushing
AT speed TOO rash,
Suddenly upseuing
With a horrid crash:
In a snow bed lumbled
All the lovers lay
Ha ha how beautiful
Riding in sleigh!
Beavers sadly battered,
Bonnets all awry-

Others want 10 cry
Careless driver swearing,
Says the deuce's 10 pay,
Never ''dump'd," load before
