Good Evening.

Cross hands, here comes Charlie, We're off down the old ice rink, What care we how the old wind howls And so cold it makes one blink.
  It's around in circles, do-si-do, Snap the whip and backward glide, The same old tricks we used to do, Swinging fine and wide. Cross hands, here comes Charlie, Whoopla let's loop the loop, Tomorrow, who knows, thaw may come And the old pond melt into soup.
