Christmas Songs - A Christmas Carol Lyrics
One very familiar type of song is the Christmas carol.Although it is perhaps a bit out of season at this time.However, I'm informed by my disk jockey friends – of whomI have none, that in order to get a song popular by ChristmasTime, you have to start plugging it well in advance. So hereGoes.It has always seemed to me after all, that Christmas,With it's spirit of giving, offers us all a wonderful opportunityEach year to reflect on what we all most sincerely and deeplyBelieve in – I refer of course, to money. And yet none of theChristmas carols that you hear on the radio or in the street,Even attempt to capture the true spirit of Christmas as weCelebrate it in the United States, that is to say the commercialSpirit. So I should like to offer the following Christmas carolFor next year, as being perhaps a bit more appropriate.Christmas time is here, by gollyDisapproval would be follyDeck the halls with hunks of hollyFill the cup and don't say whenKill the turkeys, ducks and chickensMix the punch, drag out the DickensEven though the prospect sickensBrother, here we go againOn Christmas Day you can't get soreYour fellow man you must adoreThere's time to rob him all the moreThe other three hundred and sixty-fourRelations, sparing no expense, 'llSend some useless old utensilOr a matching pen and pencil("Just the thing I need, how nice!")It doesn't matter how sincere it isNor how heart felt the spiritSentiment will not endear itWhat's important is the priceHark, the Herald Tribune singsAdvertising wondrous thingsGod rest ye merry merchantsMay ye make the Yuletide payAngels we have heard on highTell us to go out and – buy!So let the raucous sleighbells jingleHail our dear old friend Kriss KringleDriving his reindeer across the skyDon't stand underneath when they fly by(Spoken)Actually I did rather well myself, this last Christmas.The nicest present I received was a gift certificate"Good at any hospital for a lobotomy"... rather thoughtful.
