Give the grand old man a posy Why not make it a "bokay" He deserves the highest guerdon, Ringing cheers and loud applause, For he packs the white man's burden, He's a year round Santa Claus He's the lad who fills the larder, He's a diamond in the rough, When he finds the sledding harder, He digs in and does his stuff.
