And an air ship for James, and a long- train of cars,
And an angel that, came straight down from the stars;

And when they were hitched up already to go,
They both began kicking and pawing the snow,
While Santa cried ouut "By the breath of my soul
"You are both arrant fakirs and have ne'er seen the pole,
"But you'll feel one right now," and he puffed and he whacked,
While they leaped and they bucked and they balked and they
backed.
As last he unhitched them, sprang into the sleigh,
And with only six reindeer he darted away.
In spile of the fact he was a little bit late
And had only six coursers instead of the eight,
He is coming, my darlings, right royally on,
And soon, we will hear the blast of his horn.
Into bed! into bed! before he arrives,
For miles fly like feathers when Santa Claus drives.
