The Lyrics

This is a song badly in need of a parody, so I wrote one.
Chestnuts blaring at the shopping mall
Chocolate packing on the pounds
Christmas parties with booze flowing free
While bosses go way out of bounds

Everybody knows a turkey out of Hollywood
Is playing at the multiplex
You bust your brains to pick out a gift
For folks who’d really rather have checks

You know the bills are on their way
You know that when you buy, you’ll someday have to pay
Although the kids might disagree
They think that what you put on plastic is free

And so I’m offering this simple phrase
For kids from 2 to 95
We been here before, and here’s hoping we’ll get
Through this Christmas alive
