Deck us all with Boston Charlie...

(Rest of my Tumblr reblog -- "... holidays!")
So I was fiddling with the subject line, the photo is about Christmas -- and I suddenly recalled Walt Kelly's "Pogo" carol. So I looked it up:
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!
....
Hunky Dory's pop is lolly,
Gaggin' on the wagon, Willy, folly go through!
Chollie's collie barks at Barrow,
Harum scarum five alarm bung-a-loo!
Three more verses, and assorted other nostalgic giggles at:
