I don’t get up to-day;
Bring tea and toast, my merry merry men,
I don’t get up to-day.
Some friends drop in to ask me “how
I am” (pray shut the door);
Drop in! Their frost is melting now,
And deluging the floor,
And de-lu-ging the floor!
“Get up!” No! no! I trust them when
They say ’tis an ice day,
