Twas the fright Christmas No one me a big bowl of popcorn, watching TV
I stretched, gave a yawn, back in my chair In hopes St. Nicholson soon would be there The children lying awake without sleep seen all his movies; He gives them the creeps
Id cued up cuckoos nest with my trusty To the part where he had all the in the boat out in the yard, there arose such a noise I off the TV to see what it was
And what to my wandering eyes approach But the Los Lakers, and Pat Riley, their coach The was racing, the team at its heels Thats I saw him: the man at the wheel He ranted and cursed, and waved his swizzle stick And I knew in a it must be Jack Nick
More rapid than the these Lakers they came He screamed like a mad man and them by name Now Magic, now Worthy, now Scott and On Cooper, on Rambis and the rest of the
Down the chimney St. Nicholson came a groan Then he off the suit and said, Honey, Im home
He was wearing a coat, with beer it was stained And his shirt was clawed to shreds by Shirley He had a fat face and a beer belly too many trips to the bar and the deli
He said, It's tough when an becomes fat and lazy I only get calls to weirdos and crazies And has-beens with washed up careers But Ill fix them all and play Santa year
And that, he buried his head in the sack and said Lets see what you get your old buddy Jack A hatchet for daddy", he reared back his To scare all those little upstairs in bed And a stiff drink for in a nice tall glass She could really use something to kill that bug up her
a wink of his eye and a twist of his face He all the stockings into the fireplace What I do? What could I say? What would I wear on my feet day?
I asked for a reason and turning his He straight at me and heres what he said Why? You wanna know Do you wanna know why, pal? Ill tell you why
When youre out shopping You know, doing your little Christmas With all little Christmas friends Spreading all Christmas cheer those stupid Christmas songs?
Did you ever stop and of up a little something for old Jack? Did you ever stop to think of what Jack might for Christmas? You know Jack from the up on the big screen his heart out, giving it everything hes got
Day in and day out, trying as hard as he can To bring a tiny little bit of Into your miserable little humdrum Did you ever think of good ole for a second? No, not once, maybe old just wasnt that good
Maybe, I wasnt good In the postman rings twice my guts out for you in that one Cuckoos nest, the shining, of fricking Eastwick fricking honor, all for you, pal
Just to things up for you Not enough though, is it? No, you want me to brighten up the season too? Isnt that what you want, Okay, let's make things bright around here
do you say we decorate the tree? String up these pretty here Oh, looking brighter already What do you say we take cute little angel And ram her on the top branch,
How about some gasoline for the thing? I mean, let's her just as bright as she can be What do you say we light her up and her Through the old picture window
No point in having a tree as As all that giving the neighbors A chance to see, you think? There, arent you glad ole stopped by
The towered brightly in the cold, wintry sky As he made for his limo and bade his And an age may unfold air I to regret That visit St. Nicholson, which Id sooner forget
But I swear by the goose bumps my skin That Ill always remember that devilish And his voice, crying out as he faded sight Merry Christmas to all and I hope I never see you For as as I live, for crying out loud
