| The Christmas time is drawing near,
| When gifts to loving friends We make,
| When tables groan with bounteous cheer
Flanked by Marvin's Bread and Cake.
| Then, too, his Crackers hold their place,
| Light as the snow with creamy flake;
| Who could not say his Christmas grace
| When hanked by Marvin's bread aud cake
| Confections, too, do grace the board,
| OF which ith zeal we may partake,
| And for them all we thank the Lord
| For Marvin's toothsome Bread and Cake
| Then merry Christmas far and near
From ocean To the farthest lake
We hope you all may have good cheer
And lots of Marvin's Bread and Cake.
