Three small frozen figures hung stiff and forlorn

Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!

Three dim ghostly forms in the glimmering gray

Locked up in dark cold storage quarters were they

Awaiting the coming of glad Christmas day

Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!

Suspended each one from a hickory twig

Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!

A turkey, a goose, and a little fat pig

Sing hey! sing ho! heigho!
