DEED you evra see Joy
Gona wild weeth delight,
Jus' so lika small boy
W'en som' brighta new toy
Mak's heem crazy excite'?
You would know w'at I mean
Eef you jus' coulda seen --
Not so long time ago --
How my leetla fat pup
Ees first play een da snow.

O! I scream an' I roar
An' so shaka weeth laughtra,
Dat my sides dey are sore
For mos' three-four days aftra.
An' how mooch I would try,
I no speak weeth sooch skeell
I could put een your eye
W'at ees fresh een mine steell:
How dat leetla pup romp
All aroun' da whole place,
How he bark, how he jomp
An' fall down on hees face;
How he fight, how he bite
An' ees tumble aroun',
Teell hees cover' weeth white
Lik a leetla fat clown;
W'at su'prise fill hees eyes
W'en he see da flakes sail,
How he bark at da skies,
How he chasa hees tail.

O! I weesh I could show
How ees looka, dat pup,
How he puff an' he blow
W'en hees leecked by da snow
An' ees gotta geeve up.
An' I sposa, no doubt,
You would say I am fibbin'
W'en I say hees tongue's out
Lika yarda peenk ribbon --
O! how mooch I would try,
I no speak weeth sooch skeell
I could put een your eye
W'at's so fresh een mine steell.

But I weesh you had been
Where you, too, coulda seen
W'at delighta me so --
How my leetla fat pup
Ees first play een da snow!
