I. In the jolly winters / Of the long-ago, / It was not so cold as now -- / O! No! No! / Then, as I remember, / Snowballs, to eat, / Were as good as apples now, / And every bit as sweet!
II. In the jolly winters / Of the dead-and-gone, / Bub was warm as summer, / With his red mitts on, -- / Just in his little waist- / And-pants all together, / Who ever heard him growl / About cold weather?
