They say ’tis an ice day.
They say ’tis an ice day.
I’ll house me then, my merry merry men,
Abuse me as you may;
I’ll house me then, my merry merry men,
Abuse me as you may!
(Turns in bed, and goes to sleep till dinner time.)
Punch. January 16, 1864.
There was a short political parody, of the same song, in Punch for August 9, 1856, but it is now of no interest.
