Celestial Christmas Eve '73
'Twas day of Christmas eve, seventy-three,
Comet Kohoutek, badminton like sleeve,
Play-daytime Santa, store-bought gifts wrap-free,
'Twas day of Christmas eve, seventy-three,
Comet tail swells, Kohoutek shoot o'er sea,
Party with friends we all saw Christmas eve,
'Twas day of Christmas eve, seventy-three,
Comet Kohoutek, badminton like sleeve!

Palump arump, a drain
Eee wee fleed
Ddown around a mound

Skip, slip and slide
Muggadubble, mud
Plop drop popp slop, inside
