some new caroles

[Bailey]

Good king Wence's car backed out, On the feet of heathens

Joy to the world, the Lord has gum

While shepherds washed their socks by night

Get dressed ye married gentlemen, Let nothing through this May ...

Oh, does THAT bring back memories of my youth!

He is apparently still going.

And of course, what do you have when you get poison ivy along with mosquito bites? Sting along with itch!

From Pogo:

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley

etc. for many more lines

Happy to oblige, Pogo being one of my childhood heroes:

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!

Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!

Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!

Dunk us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof, woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof, goof, goof!

--derived from Cecil Adams, mayhaps not the most reliable source; note before trying this at home that frequent double-up on the meter is necessary to navigate on time.

After this it would be anticlimactic to note Churchy LaFemme's:

Good king Sauerkraut looked down
On his feets uneven...

(-which sadly was ne'er finixed), so I won't.

Wreck the Halls

Wreck the halls and steal the ribbons,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Christmas time's such fun for kittens,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
We like to help you with the wrapping,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
No fair do it when we're napping,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
So many gifts beneath the tree,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Is there a present just for me,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Rip the wrap to sneak a peek,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Is it the fuzzy toy I seek,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
