  (The Chief Constable has issued a statement declaring that carol singing in the streets by children is illegal, and morally and physically injurious. He appeals to the public to discourage the practice.—Daily Paper.) God rest you merry gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay; The Herald Angels cannot sing, The cops arrest them on the wing, And warn them of the docketing Of anything they say. God rest you merry gentlemen, May nothing you dismay: On your reposeful cities lie Deep silence, broken only by The motor horn’s melodious cry, The hooter’s happy bray. So, when the song of children ceased And Herod was obeyed, In his high hall Corinthian Rested that merry gentleman; And nothing him dismayed. |
