This LIES a curious riddle
But Joy has still a chance
The old mans got a fiddle,
An we're young enough to dance
Then, hands all round, believers,
Whatever may befall!
The 'mistletoe is temptin'.
An the holly wreathes the halt.
Who cares for what comes after.
Since now such joy is found?
Well shake the roof an rafter,
An make the room go round!
We see the ivy clingin'
Where the rose has little chance,
But the fiddle's jest a-singin',
An We're young enough to dance
