The Merriest - June Christy, Pete Rugolo

I’d like to fix this bag of tricks

And hand it out with a fleeting greeting:

Smiles for the frowners

Salutes to the uppers

Boosts for the downers

May the day be the bowl of cherriest

And to all, the Merriest!

Hope you swing during the season

Hope your days go great

Hope you find plenty of reasons all year long to celebrate

Sun for the mopers

A laugh for the criers

Luck for the hopers

To the strange and the ordinariest

Me to you, the Merriest!

Thoughts for the musers

A cheer for the winners

Breaks for the losers

To the beats and the debonariest

Greetings like the Merriest!

Hope there’s oil under your rosevine

Hope you get that raise

Hope you hope everything goes fine

The next 300 and some odd days

Friends for the loners

A Song for the singers

Grins for the groaners

Make the day the nothing can compariest

Have the most, the merriest!
