Violet Time 

Violet time is the time to be violated.

Violate me, in the violet time,
In the vilest way that you know!
Desecrate, savage me
Utterly ravage me
On me no mercy bestow.

Maude didn't go out with Harold. It was violet time.

Boston Charlie 

According to Walt Kelly, we sing:

"Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash. and Kalamazoo.
Nora's freezing on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley'garoo!
Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby lilla boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold
Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!"

When we go Christmas caroling, we end it with Boston Charlie.
