Christmas dinner br br After the turkey and brandy-buttered pud, br A glass of punch, a mince pie, and the cake, br With tangerines and nuts, just as one should. br After the turkey and brandy-buttered pud, br Biscuits and cheese with port would seem quite good. br But would you credit? I've got the belly-ache br After the turkey and brandy-buttered pud, br A glass of punch, a mince pie, and the cake! br br *************** br The insomniac spouse's complaint br br I've been awake since half past two; br If only I could sleep br Instead of brooding, as I do, br 'I've been awake since half past two.' br If only I could be like you br And snore in slumber deep. br I've been awake since half past two! br If only I could sleep! br br *************** br The power of a word br br Unthinkingly just now you said 'my love'; br I made no sign, as if I hadn't heard, br But now my heart is soaring high above. br Unthinkingly just now you said 'my love'; br I'm all a-flutter like a turtle-dove br To think perhaps you didn't use that word br Unthinkingly. Just now you said 'my love'; br I made no sign.
