My Little Home-Made Bar

While the wintry wind is blowing, and it’s hailing and it’s snowing;

Folks all wonder how I manage to keep warm.

If they only knew the reason why I always keep in season,

At my door, an endless line would straightway form,

Comes the Summer, hot and torrid, I don’t swear it’s blinkin’ horrid,

It’s a time of joy and comfort, I declare,

For in my lowly cellar is the coziest rathskellar,

That’s my little home-made bar beneath the stair.

Thus I scorn official blighters who’d regenerate booze fighters,
