One very familiar type of song is the christmas carol [00:00:06]

Although it is perhaps a bit out of season at this time [00:00:09]

However [00:00:10]

I'm informed by my disk jockey friends of whom I have none [00:00:10]

In order to get a song popular by christmas time [00:00:11]

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

So here goes [00:00:14]

It has always seemed to me after all [00:00:15]

That christmas [00:00:16]

With its spirit of giving [00:00:17]

O [00:00:18]

Us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect on what [00:00:18]

We all most sincerely and deeply believe in [00:00:20]

I refer of course [00:00:21]

To money [00:00:21]

And yet none of the christmas carols [00:00:22]

That you hear on the radio or in the street [00:00:25]

Even attempt to capture the true spirit of christmas [00:00:27]

As we celebrate it in the unit [00:00:30]

Ates [00:00:31]

That is to say the commercial spirit [00:00:31]

So I should like to offer the following christmas carol for next year [00:00:33]

As being perhaps a bit more appropriate [00:00:37]

Christmas time is here [00:00:38]

By golly [00:00:39]

Disapproval would be folly [00:00:39]

Deck the halls with hunks of holly [00:00:40]

Fill the cup and don't say when [00:00:42]

Kill the turkeys [00:00:43]

Ducks and chickens [00:00:43]

Mix the punch [00:00:45]

Drag out the d**kens [00:00:45]

Even though the prospect sickens [00:00:46]

Brother [00:00:48]

Here we go again [00:00:48]

On christmas day you can't get sore [00:00:49]

Your fellow man you must adore [00:00:51]

There's time to rob him all the more [00:00:51]

The other three hundred and sixty four [00:00:53]

Relations [00:00:55]

Sparing no expense'll [00:00:55]

Send some useless old utensil [00:00:55]

Or a matching pen and pencil [00:00:56]

Just the thing I need [00:00:57]

How nice [00:00:58]

It doesn't matter how sincere it [00:00:58]

Is [00:00:59]

Nor how heartfelt the spirit [00:01:38]

Sentiment will not endear it [00:01:39]

What's important is the price [00:01:40]

Hark the herald tribune sings [00:01:41]

Advertising wondrous things [00:01:42]

God rest ye merry [00:01:43]

Merchants [00:01:44]

May you make the yuletide pay [00:01:44]

Angels we have heard on high [00:01:46]

Tell us to go out and buy [00:01:47]

So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle [00:01:49]

Hail our dear old friend kris kringle [00:01:51]

Driving his reindeer across the sky [00:01:53]

Don't stand underneath when they fly by [00:01:54]

Actually I did rather well myself [00:01:56]

This last christmas [00:01:57]

The nicest present I received was a gift certificate [00:01:58]

Good at any hospital for a lobotomy [00:02:03]

Rather thoughtful[00:02:06]
