Thread Name: Not the Usual Christmas Songs
Subject: RE: Not the Usual Christmas Songs
I'm trying to find the missing lines to a Christmas song my Mom used to sing - probably was sung in the 19-teens & 20s. I don't know the title, can't remember the first line.

---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Jimmy popped the corn
Elouise who liked to tease
Brought a tooting horn
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
And on that happy Christmas morn,
We had lots of fun.

The tune (roughly, numerically):
1 3 3 5 5 8 8
8 6 4   6   5
1 3 3 5 5 8 8
7 5 6 4 5
8. 5. 5. 3. 5. 2. 2.
8 5 5 3 5 2 2 3
1 3 3 5 5 8 8
5 3 4 2 1
