Oh the sweet, oh the cheery, oh that sweet tasting Christmas Sherry.
Oh the green, oh the red, oh the lights all happy and merry.
The day so light, the night so bright, filled with all these Christmas lights.
Chewing cheese cheerily, chattering continually, clapping cheerfully.
Spread the cheer, the Christmas cheer.
Munching mother's moose milktart, much more may mother make.
High on chocolate truffles, oh the kerfuffle, the kerfuffle for the last chocolate truffle
Ho - ho - ho, as they day loses light, merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night
Near the lobby in the great room
we first make our rendezvous.
A breathy trip up to my stateroom
and I am at last alone with you.
I sense your fragrant muskiness
as I tease off your tenuous cover
and reveal the lustrous duskiness
of your dark body to your lover.
As your wrap falls to the floor
and in all your glory you disrobe
the hungry demon waits no more
and I encup your tempting globe.
I cannot think what may transpire...
Shall I regret today's caprice?
But I cannot vanquish my desire
and sweet passion will not cease.
Deferred until tomorrow all guilt trips
and now, oh chocolate truffle... to my lips!
