But fer mah Chris’mus I’s a tellin’
I wants a great, big watermelon.
(Measures large size with arms.)
A tickin’ watch would suit some boys,
An’ some dey’s fond ob books an’ toys;
But, OH, ’twould set mah heart a swellin’
On Chris’mus ter git a watermelon.
(Measures large size as before.)
Candy an’ nuts dey jes’ suits some,
But as fer me—oh, yum—yum—YUM! (smacks lips)
