They said it was microbic and a hotbed of disease They steamed it in a vapor of a thousand-odd degrees They froze it in a freezer that was cold as banished hope And washed it in permanganate with carbolated soap. In sulphurated hydrogen they steeped its wiggly ears They trimmed its frisky whiskers with a pair of hard-boiled shears They donned their rubber mittens and they took it by the hand And 'lected it a member of the Fumigated Band.

Whatever is open, whatever is hid, I love you. The strength of the oak makes the tempest a mock, The anchor holds firm in the hurricane's shock Our love is the anchor, the oak and the rock. I love you. Whatever I thought and whatever you thought, I love you. The mood and the passion that made it are naught I love you. For words, thoughts and deeds, though they rankle and smart, May never delude us or hold us apart Who treasure this talisman deep in the heart 'I love you.'
