On the coldest night of the year
At a pub called, "The Elephant's Ear"
Incredible Phat, the Inn Keeper's cat
Was having a saucer of beer
With fourteen merry gentlemen
On the coldest night of the year
As the hour of eleven drew near
Some poor stranger in rags did appear
At the door of the Inn-
Face weary and thin-
To ask, "Is there any room here?"
