By this day's train they're coming down.

I know I was a leetle sprung

That night, and by their note it's clear,

I've asked them all five to my house:

But Christmas comes but once a year.

My wife, in honour of the time,

Would have a friendly Christmas ball;

They've danced a hole right through the floor,

And ruined quite the party wall.

And daughter Ann has fall'n in love
