The currant lady
is in high spirits as she sees
everybody do his bit;
gathering currants
during the grand pick.
They drop them
in a bowl and steer
them round, till spats
splash everywhere.
It won’t surprise you
that after that they’ll party,
the animals, the gnomes,
the elves and of course the lady
