Christmas in the Okefenokee
Tune:
Deck the Halls
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 wolly cracker n’ too-da-loo!
Hunky Dory’s pop is lolly gaggin’
on the wagon,
Willy, folly go through!
Donkey Bonny brays a carol,
Antelope Cantaloup, ’lope with you!
Chollie’s collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarum bung-a-loo!

The Okefenokee Orchestra
Duck us all in bowls of barley,
Hinky 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!
Tickle salty boss anchovie
Wash a wash a wall Anna Kangaroo
Ducky allus bows to Polly,
Prolly Wally would but har’ly do!
Dock us all a bowsprit, Solly --
Golly, Solly’s cold and so’s
ol’ Lou!
