Better not lie
Better not cry
Better be good
I'm telling you why
Johnny Britt is coming
To find those pots you made
As gifts for mom and dad
And close friends,
If they're good enough,
And hand made not store bought
And comely and winsome
And not a disgrace to fellow
CC wheel riders . . .
And time to stop and go to bed
Ho ho Merry Christmas yourself
