lyrics

The right way to celebrate is with an eggnog
The easiest way to get an eggnog is to know somebody who makes a good one and go visit them

If you haven't got that kind of friend you're going to need:
12 eggs
2 1/4 cups of sugar
1 quart of good brandy
1 pint of Jamaica rum
3 quarts of heavy cream

If you've got all those groceries, you don't need any friends
And if you own all that good liquor..
.. you won't be able to keep them away

Our recipe comes from Virginia and it's dated 1675
Take the yolks of your 12 eggs and beat them well
Add your sugar and beat that well
Alternately add your brandy and rum
And don't get excited!
Do it slowly

Now put in the cream
Take half of your eggs, beat the whites, and fold them in
The other half you beat as stiff as you can
Add this in with the cup of powdered sugar
Sorry, I forgot to mention the powdered sugar
Also, another quart of cream - that's the fifth quart
You stir it in lightly - very lightly

Now your work is done
Just let the eggnog stand for about 12 hours in a cold place

All I can get for that recipe is the cold place
Cheer like that, I'm afraid, is just another one of my New Year's post-war dreams
I hope it comes true for all of us
