Actually, I think Prentiss's line did arise there at one time. The song went through several abortive versions in the strip; you may recall the competing ``Bark us all bow-wows of folly'', for example. The last full verse that appeared (I think) was: Deck the halls with Boston Charley! Walla Walla Wash., and Kalamazoo. Nora's freezing on the trolley; Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo....
