Lyrics
=====
I'd really like to sing a Christmas Carol
Like Chestnuts roasting on an open fire 
But I don't want to pick a fight
For all those songs have copyright
And years and years before they all expire

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply 
echo back their strains

See, that's the best I can do with public domain
But somehow it just doesn't cut it

I wish that I could write a Christmas Carol
And sing it for you with my happy croon
I'm trying hard, but let's be frank
My mind has drawn a complete blank
Give me a sec and sing another tune

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun
It is to
Ride in a one-horse open sleigh
Oh what fun
It is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

Santa's getting too fat for his reindeer
Okay, I like the melody there, but the lyrics just aren't quite right

Said the little lamb, to the shepherd boy (Go tell it on the mountain)
Do you hear what I hear (Over the hills and everywhere)
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea

Just hear that keyboard tingling, making ringaling tunes
Yes! I love it! No, wait, that sounds a little familiar

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning

(over)
Oh tannenbaum, oh tannenbaum
Wie treu sind deine Blatter
Deck the halls with baughs of holly
Here we come a caroling
Oh night, divine, oh night
Oh night divine

Haul out the holly, nope
Tumbling down Tumblr...that's, that's not even a Christmas Carol
Wait! I've got it...

I'm dreaming of a day when I can sing this song

It seems that I can't write a Christmas Carol
Not without stealing other carols too

I never intended to infringe
I was going on a Christmas binge
So won't you please forgive my sin
if a little of your work slipped in
Tim Minchin, Seth MacFarlane too
I'm well aware I stole from you

You should probably also check out Tom Lehrer

The rest of you, you must concur
I know that you would all prefer
A song that Michael Buble did
Or the one by that Shane Dawson kid

Or the Twelve Days of Christmas
Eleven Hark the Herald's
Ten Silent Nights
Nine Rudolph covers
Eight Here Comes Santa's
Seven Chipmunk Songs
Six Santa Babys
Five Let It Snow's
Four Holy Nights
Three Silver Bells
Two Sleigh Rides
And White Christmas by Bing Crosby

Copyright until 2037

Sorry if that makes you blue
This song's the best that I can do
And one last thing I really have to say (Joy to the World)
Merry Christmas
