A Christmas Carol - Tom Lehrer[00:00:00]

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

Although it is perhaps a bit out of season at this time [00:00:03]

However I'm informed by my disk jockey friends[00:00:05]

Of whom I have none [00:00:08]

In order to get a song popular by christmas time [00:00:10]

You have to start plugging it well in advance [00:00:14]

So here goes it has always seemed to me after all [00:00:16]

That christmas with its spirit of giving [00:00:19]

Us all a wonderful opportunity each year to reflect[00:00:22]

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

I refer of course to money [00:00:28]

And yet none of the christmas carols[00:00:31]

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

Even attempt to capture the true spirit of christmas[00:00:36]

As we celebrate it in the Unitstates[00:00:41]

That is to say the commercial spirit [00:00:45]

So I should like to offer the following christmas[00:00:48]

Carol for next year [00:00:50]

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 [00:01:04]

Fill the cup and don't say when [00:01:06]

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

Mix the punch drag out the dickens [00:01:11]

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 [00:01:22]

Theres time to rob him all the more[00:01:24]

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

Relations sparing no expensell[00:01:31]

Send some useless old utensil [00:01:33]

Or a matching pen and pencil [00:01:36]

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

It does't matter how sincere it[00:01:41]

Is nor how heartfelt the spirit [00:01:43]

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

What's important is the price [00:01:48]

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

Advertising wondrous things [00:01:56]

God rest ye merry merchants [00:02:00]

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

Angels we have heard on high[00:02:08]

Tell us to go out and buy [00:02:12]

So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle [00:02:16]

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

Driving his reindeer across the sky [00:02:23]

Don't stand underneath when they fly by [00:02:27]

Actually I did rather well myself [00:02:45]

This last christmas [00:02:46]

The nicest present I received was a gift certificate[00:02:48]

Good at any hospital for a lobotomy [00:02:51]

Rather thoughtful now[00:02:58]
