First Line: JENNY KISSED ME WHEN WE MET
Last Line: JENNY KISSED ME!
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; HOLIDAYS; INNOCENCE; KISSES; LOVE; NEW YEAR; TIME; WOMEN;

JENNY kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in.
Time, you thief! who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in.
Say, I'm weary, say I'm sad;
Say that health and wealth have missed me;
Say I'm growing old, but add --
Jenny kissed me!
