Ah, yes. Those were the days.

...God rest ye frantic autocrat,
     Let nothing you dismay.
     It's getting cold, it just might snow -
     You'd better start to pray!
     The fire won't start, the food will spoil,
     So serve it anyway.

     CHORUS

     God rest ye frantic autocrat,
     Let nothing you dismay,
     The feast was grand, though half the court
     Is dying of the plague...
