It can't be a salesman at this time of night!
If it's someone collecting or scrounging for beer
Tell them we're busy and money's too tight.
There's so many around at this time of year;
I've given before. . . . . .
What's that you say?
A couple requiring a meal and a bed?
We're completely full up and it's terribly late.
It's the wrong time of year, as I've already said;
I'd help if I could, with her in that state,
But I'm rushed off my feet and we're so understaffed,
So close it up, do, there's a horrible draft,
And send them away. . . . . .
