T'was the day after Christmas,and inside the house,
stockings were empty,
no sign of a mouse.
The pool fountain bubbled,
The sun sparkled bright,
and yesterday's revelers
rejoiced in the light.
T'was time to put presents
and goodies away,
To throw out the wrappings
and greet a new day.
And now, five days later,
I greet a new year,
in good old Chicago,
with Texas good cheer!
