It's time: Deck Us All With Boston Charlie

Deck Us All With Boston Charlie


The following are the lyrics from a jolly parody of Deck The Halls that the late Walt Kelly (of Pogo fame) wrote for his comic strip.

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 welly cracker n' too-da-loo!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, '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 alarum bung-a-loo!

Duck us all in bowls of barley,
Ninky 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!

[The Lone Liberal]

do that one.

2. Love Pogo

Even have soon old books of Pogo around the house.
Wish another Walt Kelly would arise.

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Pogo was the greatest.

Remember the slash job Kelly did on Joe McCarthy? And Spiro Agnew? That strip was absolutely courageous. Not to mention funny and literate as hell.
