Coming time after time,

Without reason, without rhyme,

Holding long confabulations on the lowness of their tills;

With their bills, bills, bills, bills!

Bills, bills, bills,

Oh, the worry and the scurry of the bills!

And the Host of other ills—Christmas ills!

Eatables in baronies and drinkables in rills,

All the day and all the night

Spent in over-eating quite,
