MERRY GENTLEMEN
Mr. N. H. Sharpe, President of the Greeting Card and Calendar, Manufacturers' Association, has deplored 'as a matter of principle. the appearance of the Christmas cards designed by Signor Aunt- goni in aid of the Lord Mayor's Hungarian appeal 'as an incursion into commerce . . . for charitable purposes however deserving,.
God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay.
Remember that the Greeting Cards All come on Christmas Day By courtesy of Mr. Sharpe.
That's why you have to pay
For tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy,
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
God rest you merry, gentlemen, And pray reject as phoney Those cards about Hungarians By Signor Annigoni.
If they infringe our market rights We'll all be broke and stony.
Oh, targets of profit and loss, Profit and loss,
Oh, targets of profit and loss.
