[PSYCHOcatholic]

Hopefully Kevin wont get upset that im starting a random thread just out of the blue! lol...

Okay, this is just specifically for your favorite or random Holiday Song lyrics. Maybe it will help us get into the Holiday spirit a little...

Last Christmas - Wham!

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day, You gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day, You gave it away

This year, to save me from tears

I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy

I keep my distance but you still catch my eye

Tell me baby do you recognise me?

Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it

With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it

Now I know what a fool I've been

But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

Chorus

(Oooh. Oooh Baby)

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes

I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice

My God I thought you were someone to rely on

Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

A man undercover but you tore me apart

Oooh Oooh

Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

Chorus

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart

(Gave you my heart)

A man undercover but you tore me apart

Next year

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

special

someone

someone

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

who'll give me something in return

I'll give it to someone

hold my heart and watch it burn

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special

I've got you here to stay

I can love you for a day

I thought you were someone special

gave you my heart

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

last christmas I gave you my heart

you gave it away

I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone

Sleigh Ride - the Ronettes

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too

Come on, its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you,

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling Yoo hoo,

Come on, its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we

Were snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Lets take the road before us and sing a chorus or two

Come on, its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

[interlude]

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we

Were snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be

Lets take the road before us and sing a chorus or two

Come on, its lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

[Jenny]

Frosty The Snowman

Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say,

He was made of snow but the children

Know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that

Old silk hat they found.

For when they placed it on his head

He began to dance around.

O, Frosty the snowman

Was alive as he could be,

And the children say he could laugh

And play just the same as you and me.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Over the hills of snow.

Frosty the snowman knew

The sun was hot that day,

So he said, "Let's run and

We'll have some fun

Now before I melt away."

Down to the village,

With a broomstick in his hand,

Running here and there all

Around the square saying,

Catch me if you can.

He led them down the streets of town

Right to the traffic cop.

And he only paused a moment when

He heard him holler "Stop!"

For Frosty the snow man

Had to hurry on his way,

But he waved goodbye saying,

"Don't you cry,

I'll be back again some day."

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Look at Frosty go.

Thumpetty thump thump,

Thumpety thump thump,

Over the hills of snow.

Merry Xmas (war is over)

(Happy Christmas Kyoko

Happy Christmas Julian)

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong

And so happy Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas

And what have we done

Another year over

A new one just begun

And so happy Christmas

We hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

War is over, if you want it

War is over now

Happy Christmas

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart

Barenaked Ladies

Elf's Lament Lyrics

I'm a man of reason, and they say "'Tis the season to be jolly"

But it's folly when you volley for position

Never in existence has there been such a resistance

To ideas meant to free us

If you could see us, then you'd listen

Toiling through the ages, making toys on garnished wages

There's no union

We're only through when we outdo the competition

I make toys, but I've got aspirations

Make some noise

Use your imagination

Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for

There's a list for who's been

Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf

A full indentured servitude can reflect on one's attitude

But that silly red hat just makes the fat man look outrageous

Absurd though it may seem, you know, I've heard there's even been illegal doping

And though we're coping, I just hope it's not contagious

You try to start a movement, and you think you see improvement

But when thrown into the moment, we just don't seem so courageous

I make toys, but I've got aspirations

Make some noise

Use your imagination

Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for

There's a list for who's been

Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf

You look at yourself

You're an elf

And the shelf is just filled with disappointing memories

Trends come and go, and your friends wanna know why you aren't just happy making

crappy little gizmos

Every kid knows they'll just throw this stuff away

We're used to repetition, so we drew up a petition

We, the undersigned, feel undermined

Let's redefine "employment"

We know that we've got leverage, so we'll hand the fat man a beverage

And sit back while we attack the utter lack of our enjoyment

It may be tough to swallow, but our threats are far from hollow

He may thunder, but if he blunders, he may wonder where the toys went

I make toys, but I've got aspirations

Make some noise

Use your imagination

Girls and boys, before you wish for what you wish for

There's a list for who's been

Naughty or nice, but consider the price

Naughty or nice, but consider the price

Naughty or nice, but consider the price to an elf.

Mr. Hankey, The Christmas Poo

The Southpark Gang

We all know of Rudolph and his shiny nose

And we all know Frosty who's made out of snow

But all of those stories seem kind of... gay

`Cause we all know who brightens up our hol-i-day

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

Small and brown he comes from you

Sit on the toilet here he comes

Squeeze him 'tween your festive buns

A present from down below

Spreading joy with a "Howdy-Ho!"

He's seen the love inside of you

`Cause he's a piece of poo

Sometimes he's nutty

Sometimes he's corny

He can be brown or greenish brown

(Mmmmhmmm!)

But if you eat fiber on Christmas eve

He might come to your town!

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

He loves me, I love you

Therefore, vicariously he loves you!

I can make a Mr. Hankey too! (Pffffft)

Cartman: Well Kyle where is he?

Kyle: Ehh .. He's coming!

Stan: Come on dude, push!

Kyle: Ehhhh... I'm Trying!

Cartman: Wait, wait I can see his head!

Kyle: Here he comes!

[POP!]

Mr. Hankey: Howdy Ho!

I'm Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

Seasons Greetings to all of you!

Let's sing songs and dance and play

Now before I melt away.

Here's a game I like to play

Stick me in your mouth and try to say

Howdy ho ho yum yum yum

Christmas Time has come!

Singers: Sometimes He's runny

Sometimes he's firm

Sometimes he practically water.

Sometimes he hangs off the end of your ***

And wont fall in the toilet

'Cause he's just clinging to your sphincter

And he wont drop off .. and so you shake your *** around

And try to get it to drop in the toilet and finally it does............. (ahem)

Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo

When Christmas leaves he must leave too.

Flush him down but he's never gone

His smell and his spirit lin-ger on.

Howdy Ho!

Christmas in Heaven ~ Monty Python

Spoken: GOOD EVENING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. IT'S TRULY

A REAL HONORABLE EXPERIENCE TO BE HERE THIS EVENING.

A VERY WONDERFUL AND WARM AND EMOTIONAL MOMENT FOR

ALL OF US. AND I'D LIKE TO SING A SONG: FOR ALL OF

YOU.

It's Christmas in Heaven,

All the children sing,

It's Christmas in Heaven,

Hark hark those church bells ring.

It's Christmas in Heaven,

The snow falls from the sky...

But it's nice and warm and everyone

looks smart and wears a tie.

It's Christmas in Heaven,

There's great films on TV...

'The Sound of Music' twice an hour

And 'Jaws' I, II, and III.

There's gifts for all the family,

There's toiletries and trains...

There's Sony Walkman Headphone sets

And the latest video games.

It's Christmas it's Christmas in Heaven!

Hip hip hip hip hip hooray!

Every single day,

Is Christmas day.

It's Christmas it's Christmas in Heaven!

Hip hip hip hip hip hooray!

Every single day,

It's Christmas day.

Everytime i hear this song, i giggle! And with the little kids singing it, just makes it all worth it!

"I Farted on Santa's Lap"

Mom made beans for dinner, I know I ate 'em all

Said "Come get your coat on, goin' to the mall."

Gonna visit Santa and sit upon his knee

But all that I could think about was how not to cut the cheese.

Waiting there for Santa, thought that I'd explode

The gas bubble grew bigger with every ho-ho-ho

Tried my best to hide it, thought I was doin' swell

But when I sat down on Santa's lap he hollered "What's that smell?"

I farted on Santa's lap

Now Christmas is gonna stink for me

I farted on Santa's lap

Now I'll get (raspberry fart) under my Christmas tree.

I asked him for a baseball, I asked him for a bat

I asked him for some icee skates, but I'll get none of that.

I asked him for a lot of things I'll have to do without

'Cause when I sat down on Santa's lap, I let one slip out.

I farted on Santa's lap

Now Christmas is gonna stink for me

I farted on Santa's lap

Now I'll get (raspberry fart) under my Christmas tree.

On Christmas Eve I snuck out of my bed without a sound

I went down to the living room just to take a look around

It was then that I saw Santa next to the Christmas tree

His arms were full of presents and they were all for me!

He put them on a pile, got up to turn around

And blew a fart with such great force, our tree almost came down!

And so I'll always cherish that special moment when

I realize even Old Saint Nick whurps one now and then!

I farted on Santa's lap

And Christmas didn't stink for me

I farted on Santa's lap

And Santa left one on my Christmas tree!

[Crazy Don]

Had to post this one!

"Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Grandma got run over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,

And we'd begged her not to go.

But she'd left her medication,

So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

When they found her Christmas mornin',

At the scene of the attack.

There were hoof prints on her forehead,

And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,

Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now we're all so proud of Grandpa,

He's been takin' this so well.

See him in there watchin' football,

Drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Mel.

It's not Christmas without Grandma.

All the family's dressed in black.

And we just can't help but wonder:

Should we open up her gifts or send them back?

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,

Walkin' home from our house Christmas eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

Now the goose is on the table

And the pudding made of pig.

And a blue and silver candle,

That would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig.

I've warned all my friends and neighbours.

Better watch out for yourselves."

They should never give a license,

To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer,

Walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

The Chanukah Song - Adam Sandler

Okay...

This is a song that uhh..

Theres a lot of christmas songs out there and uhh..

Not too many chanukah songs.

So uhh..

I wrote a song for all those nice little jewish kids who dont get to hear any chanukah songs.

Here we go...

Put on your yarmulke

Here comes chanukah

So much funukah

To celebrate chanukah

Chanukah is the festival of lights

Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town without a christmas tree

Heres a list of people who are jewish just like you and me

David lee roth lights the menorah

So do james caan, kirk douglas, and the late dinah shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the carnegie deli

Bowser from sha na na and arthur fonzerelli

Paul newmans half jewish, goldie hawns half too

Put them together, what a fine lookin jew

You dont need deck the halls or jingle bell rock

cause you can spin a dreidel with captain kirk and mr. spock- both jewish

Put on your yarmulke

Its time for chanukah

The owner of the seattle supersonicahs

Celebrates chanukah

O.j. simpson, not a jew

But guess who is? hall of famer rod carew- he converted

We got ann landers and her sister dear abby

Harrison fords a quarter jewish- not too shabby

Some people think that ebenezer scrooge is

Well hes not, but guess who is

All three stooges

So many jews are in showbiz

Tom cruise isnt, but I heard his agent is

Tell your friend veronica

Its time to celebrate chanukah

I hope I get a harmonicah

Oh this lovely, lovely chanukah

So drink your gin and tonicah

And smoke your marijuanikah

If you really, really wannakah

Have a happy, happy, happy, happy chanukah

Happy chanukah

Hard Candy Christmas

Performed by Dolly Parton

Written By: Carol Hall

Original Appearance: The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas Soundtrack

Hey, maybe I'll dye my hair

Maybe I'll move somewhere

Maybe I'll get a car

Maybe I'll drive so far

They'll all lose track

Me, I'll bounce right back

Maybe I'll sleep real late

Maybe I'll lose some weight

Maybe I'll clear my junk

Maybe I'll just get drunk on apple wine

Me, I'll be just

Fine and Dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy christmas

I'm barely getting through tomorrow

But still I won't let

Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy christmas

I'm barely getting through tomorrow

But still I won't let

Sorrow get me way down

Hey, maybe I'll learn to sew

Maybe I'll just lie low

Maybe I'll hit the bars

Maybe I'll count the stars until dawn

Me, I will go on

Maybe I'll settle down

Maybe I'll just leave town

Maybe I'll have some fun

Maybe I'll meet someone

And make him mine

Me, I'll be just

Fine and dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy christmas

I'm barely getting through tomorrow

But still I won't let

Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy christmas

I'm barely getting through tomorrow

But still I won't let

Sorrow bring me way down

I'll be fine and dandy

Lord it's like a hard candy christmas

I'm barely getting through tomorrow

But still I won't let

Sorrow bring me way down

'Cause I'll be fine

(I'll be fine)

Oh, I'll be fine

Here's a number that goes out to the people of Jericho, KS: "Christmas at Ground Zero" by "Weird" Al Yankovic.

Its christmas at ground zero

Theres music in the air

The sleigh bells are ringing and the carolers are singing

While the air raid sirens blare

Its christmas at ground zero

The button has been pressed

The radio just let us know

That this is not a test

Everywhere the atom bombs are dropping

Its the end of all humanity

No more time for last-minute shopping

Its time to face your final destiny

Its christmas at ground zero

Theres panic in the crowd

We can dodge debris while we trim the tree

Underneath the mushroom cloud

You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop

Or jack frost on your windowsill

But if someones climbing down your chimney

You better load your gun and shoot to kill

Its christmas at ground zero

And if the radiation levels okay

Ill go out with you and see all the new

Mutations on new years day

Its christmas at ground zero

Just seconds left to go

Ill duck and cover with my yuletide lover

Underneath the mistletoe

Its christmas at ground zero

Now the missiles are on their way

What a crazy fluke, were gonna get nuked

On this jolly holiday

**I found this odd tune on a Dr. Demento CD and it was a great "The Cold War is Over!" tune. But recent world events have put us at Ground Zero again.

Mary, Did You Know?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Would one day walk on water?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Would save our sons and daughters?

Did you know, that your baby boy

Has come to make you new?

This Child that you delivered,

Will soon deliver you!

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Will give sight to the blind man?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Would calm a storm with His hand?

Did you know, that your baby boy

Has walked where angels trod

And when you kiss your little baby,

You've kissed the face of God?

Oh, Mary did you know?

Mary did you know?

The blind will see, the deaf will hear,

The dead will live again,

The lame will leap, the dumb will speak

Praises of the Lamb?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know, that your baby boy

Will one day rule the nations?

Did you know, that your baby boy

Was Heaven's perfect Lamb?

And this sleeping Child you're holding

Is the Great I AM

Paul, I love the cheestastic 80s-ness of Last Christmas!

The Eagles - Please Come Home For Christmas

Bells will be ringing this sad sad New Years

Oh what a Christmas to have the blues

My baby's gone I have no friends

To wish me greetings once again

Choirs will be singing Silent Night

Christmas carols by candlelight

Please come home for Christmas

Please come home for Christmas

If not for Christmas by New Years night

Friends and relations send salutations

Sure as the stars shine above

But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear

The time of year to be with the ones you love

So won't you tell me you'll never more roam

Christmas and new Years will find you home

There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, happy once again

Oh there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain

And I'll be happy, Christmas once again

[skybluesky]

The Kinks - Father Christmas

When I was small I believed in Santa Claus

Though I knew it was my dad

And I would hang up my stocking at Christmas

Open my presents and I'd be glad

But the last time I played Father Christmas

I stood outside a department store

A gang of kids came over and mugged me

And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said

Father Christmas, give us some money

Don't mess around with those silly toys

We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

We want your bread so don't make us annoyed

Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Don't give my brother a Steve Austin outfit

Don't give my sister a cuddly toy

We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money

We only want the real mccoy

Father Christmas, give us some money

We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money

Don't mess around with those silly toys

But give my daddy a job 'cause he needs one

He's got lots of mouths to feed

But if you've got one I'll have a machine gun

So I can scare all the kids on the street

Father Christmas, give us some money

We got no time for your silly toys

We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

Give all the toys to the little rich boys

Have yourself a merry merry Christmas

Have yourself a good time

But remember the kids who got nothin'

While you're drinkin' down your wine

Father Christmas, give us some money

We got no time for your silly toys

Father Christmas, please hand it over

We'll beat you up so don't make us annoyed

Father Christmas, give us some money

We got no time for your silly toys

We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over

We want your bread so don't make us annoyed

Give all the toys to the little rich boys

[Otokichi]

I first heard this on "The 50th Anniversary Album" and it's an interesting "Christmas" song by Jim Croce.

"It Doesn't Have To Be That Way"

Snowy nights and Christmas lights,

Icy windowpanes,

Make me wish that we could be

Together again.

And the windy winter avenues

Just don't seem the same,

And the Christmas carols sound like blues,

But the choir is not to blame.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

Crowded stores, the corner Santa Claus,

Tinseled afternoons,

And the sidewalk bands play their songs

Slightly out of tune.

Down the windy winter avenues

There walks a lonely man,

And if I told you who he is,

Well I think you'd understand.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

No, it doesn't have to be that way.

What we had should never have ended.

I'll be dropping by today.

We could easily get it together tonight.

It's only right.

Mary, Did You Know?

Elvy, that is a gorgeous song.

And now, an altogether different holiday song...

Please Daddy (Don't Get Drunk This Christmas)

John Denver

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Just last year when I was only seven

And now I'm almost eight as you can see

You came home at a quarter past eleven

Fell down underneath our Christmas tree

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Momma smiled and looked outside the window

She told me son, you better go upstairs

Then you laughed and hollered Merry Christmas

I turned around and saw my Momma's tears

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Please Daddy, don't get drunk this Christmas

I dont wanna see my Momma cry

No, I dont wanna see my Momma cry

Weihnachtsmann Vom Dach ~ Die Roten Rosen (aka Die Toten Hosen)

Glaubt mir, ich hab den Weihnachtsmann

mit eigenen Augen gesehen.

Er ist zur Zeit bei uns im Haus

und hält sich dort versteckt.

Er riecht nach Äpfeln und nach Schnee,

er kommt wohl gerade aus seinem Wald.

Seine Augen sehen so traurig aus,

ihm ist bestimmt ganz kalt.

Hört mir irgendjemand zu?

Der Weihnachtsmann ist hier bei uns!

Er hängt auf dem Dachboden rum,

ich glaube er braucht Hilfe und ist in Not.

Plätzchen, Nüsse und Geschenkpapier

sind wild auf dem Boden zerstreut.

Zwischen zwei Wunschzetteln und 'ner Flasche Schnaps

liegt sein Studentenausweis.

Der rote Mantel und sein weißer Bart,

ja selbst die Stiefel liegen neben seinem Sack.

Mittendrin ein umgekippter Stuhl,

auf einer Karte steht von ihm ein Gruß:

"Frohe Weihnacht, ich hoffe es geht Euch gut, seid nicht böse über meine Flucht."

Langsam schwingt er hin und her

als wehte ein leichter Wind,

im Rhythmus mit dem Kerzenlicht,

das in der Ecke brennt.

Er hat sich direkt unterm Fenster

an einem Balken aufgehängt,

man kann die Kirchenglocken von hier hören,

wenn man ganz leise ist.

Ein Tagebuch liegt auf dem Tisch,

der letzte Eintrag ist noch frisch.

Nur einen Satz schrieb er groß und breit:

"Ich bin hier und Bethlehem ist weit.

Frohe Weihnacht, ich hoffe es geht Euch gut,

seid nicht böse über meine Flucht.

Ich schau' Euch trotzdem von hier oben beim Feiern zu

Frohe Weihnacht, ich hoffe es geht Euch allen gut,

seid nicht böse über meine kleine Flucht..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Santa Claus from the roof

Believe me, I've seen Santa Claus

with my own eyes,

He's currently here with us,

hiding in our house.

He smells like apples and like snow,

I think he came just from the forest

His eyes are looking so sad

He must be very cold

Does anyone listen to me?

Santa Claus is here with us!

He's hanging around the attic

I think he is in distress and needs help

Cookies, nuts and wrapping paper

are scattered wildly on the floor

Between two wishlists and a bottle of booze

lies his student's ID

The red coat and his white beard

even his boots are lying next to his bag

In the middle an overturned chair

on a card a greeting of him:

"Merry Christmas, I hope that you're well. Please don't be mad about my escape"

He's slowly swinging back and forth,

as if there was a small breeze,

in the rythm of the flickering light

coming from the candle in the corner

He hung himself here,

directly under our window

there you can hear the church bells

if you're really quite

On the table lies a diary

the last entry is still fresh

just one sentence, large and bold

"I am here and Bethlehem is far"

Merry Christmas, I hope that you're well

Please don't be mad about my escape

I'm still watching you celebrating

from up here

Merry Christmas, I hope that you're all well

Please don't be mad about my little escape

I hope my translation isn't as bad as I think it is...

[Elvish]

In memory of my own sweet Daddy:

Grandpa got run over by a beer truck

Coming out of Woody's Christmas Day

Grandma got a job out at the brewery

I never knew that she could drive that way!

Grandpa was out drinking with the floozies

Spending all of Grandma's hard earned dough

He didn't have enough to pay the bar tab

So Woody tossed him out the door into the snow

Grandpa stood there frozen in the headlights

He looked just as helpless as a deer

I don't think he was afraid of dying

I think he was just afraid he'd spill his beer

Grandpa got run over by a beer truck

Coming out of Woody's Christmas Day

Grandma got a job out at the brewery

I never knew that she could drive that way!

Who'd have thought he'd end up as a road kill

She flattened him right on the center line

He could have made it to the curb if he were quicker

But she backed it up and squashed him one more time

Grandma cried and cried at Grandpa's funeral

Not because we peeled him off the road

All the loot she got from his insurance

Went to pay the bar tab that he owed

Grandpa got run over by a beer truck

Coming out of Woody's Christmas Day

Grandma got a job out at the brewery

I never knew that she could drive that way!

The odd thing: Woody's bar was his haunt back in the day

Thank God for Kids ~ The Oak Ridge

If it weren't for kids have you ever thought

There wouldn't be no Santa Claus

Look what the stork just brought

Thank God for Kids

We'd all live in a quiet house

Without Big Bird or a Mickey Mouse

And Kool-aid on the couch

Thank God for Kids

Thank God for kids there's magic for a while

A special kind of sunshine in a smile

Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?

The nearest thing to Heaven is a child

Daddy how does this thing fly?

A hundred other where's and why's

You really don't know but we try

Thank God for Kids

When you look down in those trustin eyes

That look to you, you realize

Its love that you can't buy

Thank God for Kids

Thank God for there's magic for a while

A special kind of sunshine in a smile

Do you ever stop to think? or wonder why?

The nearest thing to Heaven is a child

When you get down on your knees tonight

To thank the Lord for his guiding light

And pray they turn out right

Thank God for Kids
