As long as we all have it in our heads anyway, let's hear Uncle 
Vernon's words as he sang "Tiptoe Through the Tulips"

To Neri, and everyone else that got this stuck in their heads:

Vernon, pounding his nail with the fruitcake Petunia gave him sings:

Hammer up the window!  Shut the window, and we'll be post-free.
Come hammer up the window with me.
Hammer up the doorslot!  Shut the mail slot.  No more posts we'll see.
Come hammer up the doorslot with me.
Knee deep in posts we've been, parchment enscribed with green.
So I will hammer up the window, and the doorslot, and the chim-a-ny.
Come hammer up my dwelling with me.


Had to do it, Ginger

Oh, yes, to give credit where credit is due:  the song is by Al Dubin 
& Joe Burke.  It was a #1 for Nick Lucas in 1929.  Also #5 for Jean 
Goldkette, #11 for Johnny Marvin, #18 for Roy Foz, and of course, #17 
for Tiny Tim in 1968.
