    Ere next year do begin, they'll be calling you in
    And be glad to give you your Christmas box.

    So now to conclude I don't wish to intrude
    Or say anything rude in the song I do lend
    But our blood it must boil when we ponder a while
    And see the returns for all we do spend
    Leave £10 in their shop, when tis gone you may pop
    To hell or Hanover to join Matty Cocks
    If your wanting a drink the next morning I think
    With their boot they will give you your Christmas box
