Inflation*

Christmas is coming,
the goose is getting fat
Please put a dollar in the old man's hat

If you haven't got a dollar,
a half will do
If you haven't got a half,
a quarter will do
If you haven't got a quarter then
God bless you!

*The original...

Christmas is coming,
the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat
If you haven't got a penny,
a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
a farthing will do
If you haven't got a farthing then
God bless you!
