The Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everybody's done this one. But it just popped into my head the day I walked into Pier One, saw a gaudy 20-foot tall Christmas tree, heard "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" and reached for a straitjacket!
God rest our ears from Christmas songs
The senses they do maim
And even Christ our Savior
Would surely feel the same
The stores play all of them to death
And most of them are lame
They think it sells bags of gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
They think it sells bags of gifts and toys
God rest our eyes from Christmas cards
And decorations, too
The corp'rate world still tries to sway
Each Muslim and each Jew
And if you say that it offends,
Folks will make fun of you
We're brainwashed to buy those gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
We're brainwashed to buy those gifts and toys
God rest our brains from all this crap
It's earlier this year
And now it starts by Halloween
That phony Christmas cheer
It could be Labor Day next time
Then I'll need lots of beer
Along with the tons of gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
Along with the tons of gifts and toys
The twinkling lights have decked the halls
Nativities abound
The Santas now gang up on us
They've commandeered our town
The reindeer have adorned the streets
With turds of golden brown
There's no more cash, just programmed girls and boys
Girls and boys
There's no more cash, just programmed girls and boys
The senses they do maim
And even Christ our Savior
Would surely feel the same
The stores play all of them to death
And most of them are lame
They think it sells bags of gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
They think it sells bags of gifts and toys
God rest our eyes from Christmas cards
And decorations, too
The corp'rate world still tries to sway
Each Muslim and each Jew
And if you say that it offends,
Folks will make fun of you
We're brainwashed to buy those gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
We're brainwashed to buy those gifts and toys
God rest our brains from all this crap
It's earlier this year
And now it starts by Halloween
That phony Christmas cheer
It could be Labor Day next time
Then I'll need lots of beer
Along with the tons of gifts and toys
Gifts and toys
Along with the tons of gifts and toys
The twinkling lights have decked the halls
Nativities abound
The Santas now gang up on us
They've commandeered our town
The reindeer have adorned the streets
With turds of golden brown
There's no more cash, just programmed girls and boys
Girls and boys
There's no more cash, just programmed girls and boys
A few of our (Rick Duncan's and mine) originals are on MP3.com under RAD & MAD, at least until December 1.

HO HO HO, Mari CHRISTMAS !
Mari, I loved this parody, especially the line...
We’re brainwashed to buy those gifts and toys
....because I have my own quasi-paranoid little theory about how we get brainwashed to buy them gifts & toys....see my Moody Blues parody on that very topic:

Great job, Mari - 555 of course.

I'm with you... you know, everyone would find it offensive if big stores started playing Yiddish music around Yom Kippur or something. Where I worked in the city, during the energy crisis, they told us we couldn't have our exterior lights on after 10pm. The place was supposed to be a safe haven for kids in a bad neighorhood. But then, they didn't seem to have a problem Macy's blazing their giant Christmas lights all night long... go figure.
I thought it was great
I'm such a scrooge about this time of year. To me, it's so lame that the day after Thanksgiving, all you see is Christmas stuff. I got nothing against Christmas, but people end up getting it stuffed down their throats for about a month. One straight month of anything will drive you crazy. Well done.
Even Christ the Savior would like this one. Perfect for a group of parody Christmas carolers. Happy Hannukah, Mari!
Very nice!
