For many of us, Christmas wouldn't
be Christmas
without singing the ridiculous
Christmas carol
sung by Walt Kelley's comic strip
character, Pogo the Possum:
"Deck us all with Boston
Charlie"
except - no one is ever sure of the
words.
Given below are the genuine 6
stanzas......
Deck us all with
Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!
Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!
Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Polly wolly cracker 'n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloupe, 'lope with you!
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly gaggin' on the
wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!
Dunk us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky dinky dink an' polly voo!
Chilly Filly's name is Chollie,
Chollie Filly's jolly chilly view halloo!
Bark us all bow-wows of folly,
Double-bubble, toyland trouble! Woof, woof,
woof!
Tizzy seas on melon collie!
Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! Goof,
goof, goof!
AND
AS AN EXTRA TREAT, TO THE TUNE OF
'GOOD
KING WENCESLAUS',
CHURCHY LA FEMME (the turtle)
OFFERED UP THIS SADLY INCOMPLETE DITTY:
"Good King
Sauerkraut, look out!
On yo' feets uneven.
While the snoo lay roun' about,
All kerchoo achievin'."
