For ’tis indigestion kills!

Oh, the languish and the anguish

Of your ills, ills, ills, ills,

Ills, ills, ills,

Oh, the bother and the pother of your ills!

Then to-morrow and its pills—bitter pills!

Fever-heats succeeding on the heels of horrid chills,

All the livelong restless night—

What a cheerful Christmas plight!

Too much agonized to speak,
