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


(1)


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’”.


(2)


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”.
