this is a song i first tried to write a long time ago and feel that its appropriate to publish now...
the christmas song 2011 (like nat king cole sang it)
reindeer roasting on an open fire
elves just looking to get paid
santa got hit by recession this year
there werent many toys on christmas day ... everybody
knows boughs of holly and some mistletoe
dont help keep the fireplace bright
we burned a dresser and an ottoman
as children huddled closer this cold night
(they know that santas been laid off
and he and mrs clause have caught a nasty cough
but with his rising healthcare cost
it seems his battle with blue cross is all but lost)
they know that santa struggled too
he did as much as any jolly elf could do
but he got laid off at the mall and he wont be decking anybodys halls ... with
boughs of holly and some mistletoe
dont help to keep the fireplace bright
and every mothers child is gonna try
to see if reindeer tastes better baked or fried
and now kriss kringles gone away
forclosure signs are in his yard and his driveway
and all the elves have been laid off
their jobs are now in taiwan and bangkok, ... and china
i sing this song without expecting praise
from those just trying to survive if we make it through new years its a miracle
and another year we have to keep alive
this is a song i first tried to write a long time ago and feel that its appropriate to publish now...
the christmas song 2010 (like nat king cole sang it)
reindeer roasting on an open fire
elves just looking to get paid
santa got hit by recession this year
there werent many toys on christmas day ... everybody
knows boughs of holly and some mistletoe
