Peggy wore a sprig of mistletoe,
Wore it Christmas Eve. Of course you know
What the consequences were,
Wearing that — and in her hair.
Peggy’s not to blame for doing so.
How could she know it was mistletoe —
Just a sprig of green she found
Lying carelessly around?
Some said Peggy wasn’t very slow
At a party, wearing mistletoe,
And a light in her blue eyes
Not exactly shocked surprise.
Peggy’s not the least to blame, although
‘Twas remarked that she wore mistletoe.
Her mistake seemed odd. You see —
Peg excels in botany!
