The Lyrics
One in a long series of anti-Christmas songs
Jangled nerves, jangled nerves
On the jammed freeway
Oh, what hell it is to sit
In a traffic jam today, hey!
Jangled nerves, as I swerve
To another lane
It's no good, I guess I should
Have taken bus or plane
Crashing through the lights
On crowded little streets
No such thing as rights
Just lunatics in seats
Watch out for that jerk
Yelling at his wife
Now you're not just late for work
You're risking limb and life
Jangled nerves, jangled nerves
What a holiday
He who has the biggest car
Just takes the right of way, hey!
Jangled nerves, no one deserves
To have to drive L. A.
Someday soon the flood will come
And wash this mess away
On the jammed freeway
Oh, what hell it is to sit
In a traffic jam today, hey!
Jangled nerves, as I swerve
To another lane
It's no good, I guess I should
Have taken bus or plane
Crashing through the lights
On crowded little streets
No such thing as rights
Just lunatics in seats
Watch out for that jerk
Yelling at his wife
Now you're not just late for work
You're risking limb and life
Jangled nerves, jangled nerves
What a holiday
He who has the biggest car
Just takes the right of way, hey!
Jangled nerves, no one deserves
To have to drive L. A.
Someday soon the flood will come
And wash this mess away

I may be inventive, but I'm a typo king. Can anybody tell me how to correct "Traditional" and put my name back in there? How do we fix it when we screw up on this site?
You need to contact the webmaster of this site and explain the problems. Email him at: chuck@worcestermass.com.
BTW - Great parody.
BTW - Great parody.
"Traditional" is the original performer anyway.
i enjoyed it, one of the better ones i've read so far, some are too long, some are too short, this one may be just right
