We knew it wouldn't do to go along the streets or in the halls and corridors of the World's Fair, a-singin' as loud as we could "Joy to the World!" Or, "What amazin' bliss is this!" or anything else of that kind no, we wuz too well-bread to attempt it; but inside of us we jest sung for joy, the hull set and caboodle of us.
