When a young lady named Wang
Out of my old wardrobe sprang
My friend Miss June
Struck up a tune,
And my neighbours they sweetly sang!

About a young lady and her salad.

Being a greedy young man
Ate that salad along with my ballad!
Don’t Kiss Strangers Under the Mistletoe
When a wise and far sighted minister said,
“Good people, don’t kiss strangers under the mistletoe!”
I wondered whether one can go
To a pretty stranger’s bed
So long as you don’t kiss under mistletoe?

I said, “come you near my dear
And let me whisper in your ear.
Sweet Fay, they mean what they do say!”
