Now My Friends—
As we all know—
When Americans begin
To think for themselves
It’s a danger to the nation

It’s not the debt
Will sink our ships
Or act of war upon our shores
But consumers failing
In their obligation

To buy what toys we throw their way
However the poorer they then may be
Regardless of their situation

So slap some pap on what is left
Some other name with a sexual tone
As if purchase will bring on passion

Be sure to have whatever clod
For whom the  mob is wetting beds
Prance and sing about the thing
As the only way to gain coition . . .

And throw a Ho Ho Ho
And a bow on it all
That ring the bells on our registers . . .
Lest we fail to remember the Season
