The Lyrics
A little late, I meant to write this before the new year...oh well. Original song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn6-c223DUU
Can we pretend that airplane
in the night sky
is just Rudolph's nose?
I just really want my gift right now
Gift right now
Gift right now
Can we pretend that airplane
in the night sky
is just Santa's sleigh?
I just really want my gift right now
Gift right now
Gift right now
Yo, I'm a little kid, I really want my gift
I lie here in my bed on the eve of twenty fifth
Cause after all the snowman buildin' and sleddin', we're headin'
Right off to bed so our heads can be restin'
Can't wait until the morning when I see all my presents
Then stocking time, when I see all its contents
When I was sitting on that Santa Claus lap
I told him what I wanted, not to bring me crap
What I get is out of my control
But I trust Santa with all of my heart and my soul
I want Rock Band, do not want Pac-Man
And if I get that I will do a dance
No complaints, disdain, this year I was great
Get on your way, do not make me wait
So get here right away and I'll sing real bright
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night
Can we pretend that airplane
in the night sky
is just Rudolph's nose? (Rudolph's nose)
I just really want my gift right now (gift right now)
Gift right now (gift right now)
Gift right now (gift right now)
Can we pretend that airplane
in the night sky
is just Santa's sleigh? (Santa's sleigh)
I just really want my gift right now (gift right now)
Gift right now (gift right now)
Gift right now (gift right now)
Yeah, yeah, so then I woke up on Christmas day
Could not wipe the smile right off of my face
Before I open, I feel that I must thank
St. Nick, cause I won't be disappointed- there ain't no way
Underneath the crisp wrappin'- purple elephant
In some small way, expectin' to say "grandma's gift"
I'm guessin' that Santa's job makes the first gift real lame
Guess maybe, hey, maybe they can't all be great
Go to my stocking next, and it's more of the same
Ice pack, fake plastic money, tube of glue and scotch tape
And so then I ran away from where my stocking hangs
and see the biggest package that came from Santa's sleigh
I open my last gift
a gift that's very big
a gift to leave me ecstatic
not disappointed
So I stand back and with tears I say
"Can't believe I got some argyle socks out of Nick's sleigh"
I'm gonna find an airplane
take me tonight
to his workshop home (workshop home)
I just gotta speak to Nick right now (Nick watch out)
Nick right now (Nick watch out)
Nick right now (Nick watch out)
And when I leave that airplane
in the night sky
I know that we will brawl (you're going down)
Cause I'm thinking I got gypped right now (Nick watch out)
Gypped right now (Nick watch out)
Gypped right now (Nick watch out)
I just really want my gift right now
(I just really want my gift right now)
B-b-b But I feel like I got gypped some how
(Man, I feel like I got gypped some how)
One gift, is that too hard?
(It's not that hard)
Ho-ho-hell no, so Ol' St. Nick you best watch out
(Ol' St. Nick, you better watch out)
You best, you better watch out
(Nick watch out)
in the night sky

Like you said a tad late but this was the first parody of this song I've seen and I love the song. Well, At least the sung part of this song.
Nice work man! This is really good. Love TOS, you did a great job with this parody. Hope you like having 555's in your stocking.
See above! Can't believe that this hasn't been in much of anything... This is a good parody although once again out of season because Halloween is right around the corner.
Loved all the subs for 'wish' and also 'ho ho - hell no'. You did an excellent job on this.
This really put me in the Christmas spirit!
Hey Abbott! Good one,I liked the line "When I was sitting on that Santa Claus lap, I told him what I wanted, not to bring me crap" particularly :)
Remember the Santa at the mall? He's doing it to for the communtiy service. He was actually on probation...lol, kids sat on a criminal's lap.
That was a cool idea idea to convert the main metaphorical image in the song into that sleigh. The best parts you wrote were the hard parts of Bruno's raps. Early Christmas gift of 555 for you.
I meant B.o.b's raps obviously.
(ABC) Well, at least that kid just decided to pick a fight with Santa, as opposed to what happened to that kid in that Jack Chick comic where the kid is told that Santa doesn't exist and spontaneously becomes an atheist serial killer. Because that's how that works. I had a bit of trouble following the verses to the OS, but I know that your works well enough to be sure that that's my fault, not yours. 555!
Great concept and lyrics! We need more wrapping rappers. My favorite line was your use of "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night"
(ABC) A wee-bit out of season, but still great! I've talked this OS as well and it's no cake walk, so kudos on that. It was super funny and had so many great lines, I can't even pick one as a favorite!
