That is, if you’ve been good,
And don’t disobey, nor try to deceive,
But do as a little boy should.
For if you’re good, there’ll be sugarplums,
And toys in it, too, I know.
But if you’re bad, there’ll be just a stick
To wallop you with. Oh, ho!
Aunt Hepsey—Massy me, Johnny! I couldn’t hear a word of it. What was it about?
Miss P.—Say it louder, Johnny.
