One very familiar type of song[00:00:00]

Is the christmas carol [00:00:02]

Although it is perhaps a bit out[00:00:03]

Of season at this time However [00:00:04]

I'm informed by my "Disk jockey"[00:00:06]

Friends of whom I have none [00:00:08]

In order to get a song[00:00:11]

Popular by christmas time [00:00:12]

You have to start plugging it well in advance [00:00:13]

So here goes [00:00:16]

It has always seemed to me after all [00:00:17]

That christmas with it's spirit of giving o[00:00:19]

Us all a wonderful opportunity[00:00:22]

Each year to reflect on[00:00:23]

What we all most sincerely and deeply believe in [00:00:25]

I refer of course to money [00:00:27]

And yet none of the christmas carols[00:00:30]

That you hear on the radio or in the street [00:00:34]

Even attempt to capture the true[00:00:36]

Spirit of christmas as we celebrate it in the unit[00:00:38]

Ates That is to say the commercial spirit [00:00:43]

So I should like to offer[00:00:48]

The following christmas carol for next year [00:00:49]

As being perhaps a bit more appropriate [00:00:51]

Christmas time is here by golly [00:00:59]

Disapproval would be folly [00:01:01]

Deck the halls with hunks of holly [00:01:03]

Fill the cup and don't say "When "[00:01:05]

Kill the turkeys ducks and chickens [00:01:08]

Mix the punch drag out the dickens [00:01:10]

Even though the prospect sickens [00:01:13]

Brother here we go again [00:01:15]

On christmas day you can't get sore [00:01:19]

Your fellow man you must adore [00:01:21]

There's time to rob him all the more[00:01:23]

The other three hundred and sixty four [00:01:26]

Relations sparing no expense'll[00:01:30]

Send some useless old utensil [00:01:32]

Or a matching pen and pencil [00:01:35]

"Just the thing I need How nice "[00:01:37]

It doesn't matter how sincere it[00:01:40]

Is nor how heartfelt the spirit [00:01:42]

Sentiment will not endear it [00:01:45]

What's important is the price [00:01:47]

Hark the herald tribune sings [00:01:51]

Advertising wondrous things [00:01:55]

God rest ye merry merchants [00:01:59]

May you make the yuletide pay [00:02:01]

Angels we have heard on high[00:02:07]

Tell us to go out and buy [00:02:11]

So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle [00:02:15]

Hail our dear old friend kris kringle [00:02:20]

Driving his reindeer across the sky [00:02:22]

Don't stand underneath when they fly by [00:02:26]
