O Night Divi-i-i-ine: Variations on a Theme

When asked, he was always polite,
And kindly replied, ‘You are right,
Indeed, ma’am, I am
Monsieur Adolphe Adam,
The composer of ‘O Holy Night’”.

Whene’er the occasion befell,
Adam thought it perfectly swell
That folks on the street
Might be eager to meet
The composer of “Cantique de Noël”.
