I have only been listening to Christmas music for two weeks and some of the songs are already starting to become annoying. My least favorite is “The Christmas Song”, no matter who sings it.
In high school, however, we sang that particular song with… non-traditional lyrics. I looked for our version online but have not been able to find it, so this is the way I remember the words. If you know where it originated, please let me know!
Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost picking at your nose
A mule named Carol being flung on the fire
And folks dressed up like twinkletoes
Everybody knows some turkey stole the mistletoe
And now there’s gonna be a fight
Tiny tots with their eyes full of coal
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa’s made of clay
He’s gonna run some people over with his sleigh
And every mother’s child is gonna cry
To hear that Rudolph was baked for Christmas pie
And so I’m offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
The early bird gets the worm.
Do you have amusing lyrics to classic Christmas songs? Christmas songs that irritate you? Tell me what they are!
Edit: I found a version of these lyrics in a Youth Specialties book.
