《A Christmas Carol》歌词

[00:00:00] One very familiar type of song

[00:00:02] Is the christmas carol

[00:00:03] Although it is perhaps a bit out

[00:00:04] Of season at this time However

[00:00:06] I'm informed by my "Disk jockey"

[00:00:08] Friends of whom I have none

[00:00:11] In order to get a song

[00:00:12] Popular by christmas time

[00:00:13] You have to start plugging it well in advance

[00:00:16] So here goes

[00:00:17] It has always seemed to me after all

[00:00:19] That christmas with it's spirit of giving o

[00:00:22] Us all a wonderful opportunity

[00:00:23] Each year to reflect on

[00:00:25] What we all most sincerely and deeply believe in

[00:00:27] I refer of course to money

[00:00:30] And yet none of the christmas carols

[00:00:34] That you hear on the radio or in the street

[00:00:36] Even attempt to capture the true

[00:00:38] Spirit of christmas as we celebrate it in the unit

[00:00:43] Ates That is to say the commercial spirit

[00:00:48] So I should like to offer

[00:00:49] The following christmas carol for next year

[00:00:51] As being perhaps a bit more appropriate

[00:00:59] Christmas time is here by golly

[00:01:01] Disapproval would be folly

[00:01:03] Deck the halls with hunks of holly

[00:01:05] Fill the cup and don't say "When "

[00:01:08] Kill the turkeys ducks and chickens

[00:01:10] Mix the punch drag out the dickens

[00:01:13] Even though the prospect sickens

[00:01:15] Brother here we go again

[00:01:19] On christmas day you can't get sore

[00:01:21] Your fellow man you must adore

[00:01:23] There's time to rob him all the more

[00:01:26] The other three hundred and sixty four

[00:01:30] Relations sparing no expense'll

[00:01:32] Send some useless old utensil

[00:01:35] Or a matching pen and pencil

[00:01:37] "Just the thing I need How nice "

[00:01:40] It doesn't matter how sincere it

[00:01:42] Is nor how heartfelt the spirit

[00:01:45] Sentiment will not endear it

[00:01:47] What's important is the price

[00:01:51] Hark the herald tribune sings

[00:01:55] Advertising wondrous things

[00:01:59] God rest ye merry merchants

[00:02:01] May you make the yuletide pay

[00:02:07] Angels we have heard on high

[00:02:11] Tell us to go out and buy

[00:02:15] So let the raucous sleigh bells jingle

[00:02:20] Hail our dear old friend kris kringle

[00:02:22] Driving his reindeer across the sky

[00:02:26] Don't stand underneath when they fly by
