《Joel The Lump Of Coal》歌词

[00:00:00] Joel The Lump Of Coal - The Killers

[00:00:05] Some time ago, at Santa's place

[00:00:08] Up in the old North Pole

[00:00:11] There lived a lump of anthracite

[00:00:14] Whose parents called him Joel

[00:00:17] Joel, Joel, the lump of coal

[00:00:20] Happy as a lump can be

[00:00:23] He just wants to keep Santa warm

[00:00:26] And make the elves cozy

[00:00:29] But Santa Claus had other plans

[00:00:32] For Joel one fateful day

[00:00:35] "Joel, you're just the lump I need

[00:00:38] Come join me on my sleigh”

[00:00:42] Joel, Joel, the lump of coal

[00:00:44] Heart leapt up with joy

[00:00:47] "I'll soon be Santa's present to

[00:00:50] A lucky girl or boy

[00:00:53] We'll laugh and play together

[00:00:56] And hold each other tight

[00:00:59] Snuggle under clean white sheets

[00:01:02] When we go to sleep at night”

[00:01:05] Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel

[00:01:08] "You're in for a surprise

[00:01:11] You're not a special Christmas gift

[00:01:14] You're just a booby prize

[00:01:17] What kid would ever want you?

[00:01:20] You're filthy as can be

[00:01:24] Now you have to go and live

[00:01:26] With one who's been naughty”

[00:01:30] "But I make heat, ” poor Joel cried

[00:01:33] "And electricity”

[00:01:35] "You pollute the air

[00:01:38] With CO2 and mercury”

[00:01:42] Joel, Joel, the lump of coal

[00:01:45] Fell down upon his knees

[00:01:48] "I don't wanna live with a naughty kid

[00:01:51] Don't make me, Santa, please”

[00:01:54] But Santa laughed his jolly laugh

[00:01:57] "Ho, ho, you stupid lump

[00:02:00] You're just the thing to teach this brat

[00:02:03] That Santa ain't no chump”

[00:02:06] So off they knew and, before he knew

[00:02:09] Joel was in a sack

[00:02:12] He cried and yelled to Santa Claus

[00:02:15] "Why don't we just go back?”

[00:02:18] And then came Christmas morning

[00:02:21] And, much to Joel's surprise(Much to Joel's surprise)

[00:02:25] He saw a boy with the saddest face

[00:02:27] And tears were in his eyes(Tears were in his eyes)

[00:02:30] He picked Joel up and held him

[00:02:33] And said "You can be my friend(Hey man, let's be friends)

[00:02:36] I would've liked some presents but

[00:02:39] You're what Santa chose to send(Santa chose to send)

[00:02:42] It's true, I've been a naughty boy

[00:02:45] And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)

[00:02:49] If this is how Santa treats the kids

[00:02:51] I'm just glad that I'm not him”

[00:02:54] Joel, Joel, the lump of coal

[00:02:57] Knew what he must do

[00:03:00] He said "Now I know the reason why

[00:03:03] I got sent to you

[00:03:06] Cause when a person hurts inside

[00:03:09] It turns him hard and cruel

[00:03:12] But I know how to make your pain

[00:03:15] Into a precious jewel

[00:03:18] So take me in your hand, young man

[00:03:21] And squeeze with all your might

[00:03:24] Let's turn your pain and anger

[00:03:27] Into something that shines bright”

[00:03:30] Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal

[00:03:33] He gave his life away

[00:03:36] So that one good naughty little boy

[00:03:39] Found a diamond on Christmas day
