《A Visit From St. Nicholson》歌词

[00:00:00] A Visit From St. Nicholson - Bob Rivers

[00:00:04] Twas' the fright before Christmas

[00:00:05] No one upset me

[00:00:07] With a big bowl of popcorn watching TV

[00:00:10] I stretched gave a yawn settled back in my chair

[00:00:13] In hopes that St Nicholson soon would be there

[00:00:16] The children were lying awake without sleep

[00:00:18] They'd seen all his movies

[00:00:20] He gives them the creeps

[00:00:22] I'd cued up cuckoo's nest with my trusty remote

[00:00:24] To the part where he had all the nuts in the boat

[00:00:27] When out in the yard there arose such a noise

[00:00:30] I turned off the TV to see what it was

[00:00:32] And what to my wandering eyes should approach

[00:00:35] But the Los Angeles Lakers and

[00:00:36] Pat Riley their coach

[00:00:38] The limo was racing the team at it's heels

[00:00:41] That's when I saw him the man at the wheel

[00:00:44] He ranted and cursed and waved

[00:00:45] Round his swizzle stick

[00:00:47] And I knew in a second it must be Jack Nick

[00:00:50] More rapid than the Celtics these

[00:00:51] Lakers they came

[00:00:53] He screamed like a mad man

[00:00:54] And called them by name

[00:00:55] Now Magic now Worthy now Scott and Kareem

[00:00:59] On Cooper on Rambis and the rest of the team

[00:01:02] Down the chimney St Nicholson came with a groan

[00:01:06] Then he brushed off the suit and said Honey I'm home

[00:01:10] He was wearing a trench coat with beer it was stained

[00:01:14] And his shirt was clawed to shreds by Shirley Maclaine

[00:01:17] He had a fat face and a flabby beer belly

[00:01:19] From too many trips to the bar and the deli

[00:01:22] He said it's tough when an actor becomes fat and lazy

[00:01:26] I only get calls to play weirdo's and crazies

[00:01:29] And middle aged has been's with washed up careers

[00:01:33] But I'll fix them all and play Santa this year

[00:01:36] And with that he buried his head in the sack and said

[00:01:39] Let's see what you get from your old buddy Jack

[00:01:42] A hatchet for daddy he reared back his head

[00:01:45] To scare all those little buggers upstairs in bed

[00:01:49] And a stiff drink for mommy in a nice tall glass

[00:01:52] She could really use something to

[00:01:54] Kill that bug up her chimney

[00:01:55] With a wink of his eye and a twist of his face

[00:01:58] He threw all the stockings into the fireplace

[00:02:01] What could I do what could I say

[00:02:04] What would I wear on my feet Christmas day

[00:02:06] I asked for a reason and turning his head

[00:02:09] He looked straight at me and here's what he said

[00:02:12] Why you wanna know why

[00:02:15] Do you really wanna know why pal I'll tell you why

[00:02:20] When you're out Christmas shopping

[00:02:22] You know doing your little Christmas things

[00:02:26] With all your little Christmas friends

[00:02:28] Spreading all that Christmas cheer

[00:02:30] With those stupid Christmas songs

[00:02:33] Did you ever stop and think of

[00:02:34] Picking up a little something for old Jack

[00:02:37] Did you ever stop to think of what

[00:02:39] Jack might like for Christmas

[00:02:41] You know Jack from the movies up on the big screen

[00:02:45] Pouring his heart out giving it everything he's got

[00:02:48] Day in and day out just trying as hard as he can

[00:02:51] To bring a tiny little bit of sunshine

[00:02:54] Into your miserable little humdrum lives

[00:02:57] Did you ever think of good ole Jack for a second

[00:03:00] No not once maybe old Jack just wasn't that good

[00:03:04] Maybe I wasn't good enough

[00:03:05] In the postman always rings twice

[00:03:08] Acting my guts out for you in that one

[00:03:10] Cuckoo's nest the shining witches of fricking Eastwick

[00:03:13] Prizzi's fricking honor all for you pal

[00:03:16] Just to brighten things up for you

[00:03:18] Not good enough though is it

[00:03:20] No you want me to brighten up the Christmas season too

[00:03:23] Isn't that what you want pal

[00:03:25] Okay let's make things real bright around here

[00:03:27] What do you say we decorate the tree

[00:03:29] String up these pretty lights here

[00:03:31] Oh she's looking brighter already

[00:03:33] What do you say we take this cute little angel

[00:03:35] And ram her on the top branch huh

[00:03:38] How about some gasoline for the whole thing

[00:03:41] I mean let's make her just as bright as she can be

[00:03:43] What do you say we light her up and chuck her

[00:03:45] Through the old picture window here

[00:03:48] No point in having a tree as bright

[00:03:49] As all that without giving the neighbors

[00:03:50] A chance to see don't you think

[00:03:53] There aren't you glad ole' Jack stopped by

[00:03:57] The flames towered brightly in the cold wintry sky

[00:04:00] As he made for his limo and bade his goodbye

[00:04:03] And an age may unfold air I fail to regret

[00:04:06] That visit from St Nicholson which I'd sooner forget

[00:04:10] But I swear by the goose bumps upon my skin

[00:04:13] That I'll always remember that devilish grin

[00:04:16] And his voice crying out as he faded from sight

[00:04:19] Merry Christmas to all and I hope I never see you again

[00:04:21] For as long as I live for crying out loud
