Pretty Christianth, nice Christianth, dese nations I call

Dey promith'd so fair to cut each others' throatsh,

And dey're goin' to thettle de shquabble by notesh!

Not a goin' to fight!—and deir quarrel arose

About deir religionth—not comin' to blows!

Dere never was Christianth behaved so afore,

But who's to depend on 'em now, any more?

Here'th we bin' a goin' and thtockin' our thopth,

And what shall we do now wid all dem old thlopth

Wid which all our thelvth and our vinders is filled—
