Trash Engels and Tawney under your feet,
Pass the '29 Lafitte.
Ring in Friedman, ring in Hayek-- It's your road to serfdom, you should like it.
Drink a round to the Kruggerrand, Even, God help us, to Ayn Rand.
Ditch your Lenin, ditch you Che-- Give us pheasant, peasant and pate.
Bakunin, Kropotkin--sweep the slate clean!
God's in his heaven and He'll save the Queen.
Drink a toast to Widow Clicquot.
And bonds from tax-free Puerto Rico.
Let Stalin and Trotsky enjoy their Big Snooze;
Pass the Hine and Montecruz.
God bless Moet, God bless Chandon Let's get drunk with wild abandon.
Throw left and right and tertium quid o'er--Ring in Harvard's happy Thermidor. With a wreath to the Left and a wreath to the Right, Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
