Twas the before Christmas No one me With a big of popcorn, watching TV
I stretched, gave a yawn, settled in my chair In hopes that St. Nicholson soon would be The children were lying awake sleep Theyd seen all his movies; He gives them the
Id up cuckoos nest with my trusty remote To the part he had all the nuts in the boat When out in the yard, there such a noise I off the TV to see what it was
And what to my wandering should approach But the Los Lakers, and Pat Riley, their coach The was racing, the team at its heels Thats when I saw the man at the wheel He ranted and cursed, and waved his swizzle stick And I in a second it must be Jack Nick
More rapid than the Celtics these Lakers came He screamed a mad man and called them by name Now Magic, now Worthy, now Scott and On Cooper, on Rambis and the of the team
Down the chimney St. Nicholson came with a he brushed off the suit and said, Honey, Im home
He was wearing a trench coat, beer it was stained And his shirt was to shreds by Shirley Maclaine He had a fat face and a flabby belly too many trips to the bar and the deli
He said, It's tough when an actor fat and lazy I get calls to play weirdos and crazies And middle-aged with washed up careers But Ill fix them all and play Santa year
And with that, he buried his head in the sack and Lets see what you get your old buddy Jack A hatchet for daddy", he reared his head To scare all those little upstairs in bed And a stiff for mommy in a nice tall glass She really use something to kill that bug up her chimney
With a wink of his eye and a twist of his He threw all the stockings into the What I do? What could I say? What would I wear on my feet day?
I asked for a and turning his head He looked straight at me and heres what he Why? You wanna why? Do you really wanna know why, Ill tell you why
When out Christmas shopping You know, doing your Christmas things With all your little Christmas Spreading all that Christmas With those stupid songs?
Did you ever and think of Picking up a little for old Jack? Did you ever to think of what Jack might like for Christmas? You Jack from the movies up on the big screen Pouring his out, giving it everything hes got
Day in and day out, trying as hard as he can To bring a little bit of sunshine Into your miserable little humdrum Did you ever think of ole Jack for a second? No, not once, old Jack just wasnt that good
Maybe, I wasnt enough In the postman rings twice Acting my out for you in that one nest, the shining, witches of fricking Eastwick Prizzis honor, all for you, pal
to brighten things up for you Not good though, is it? No, you me to brighten up the Christmas season too? that what you want, pal? Okay, let's make things real bright here
What do you say we decorate the String up these lights here Oh, shes looking already What do you say we take this little angel And ram her on the top branch,
How about some gasoline for the thing? I mean, let's make her just as as she can be What do you say we light her up and her Through the old picture here?
No in having a tree as bright As all that without giving the A to see, dont you think? There, you glad ole Jack stopped by
The flames towered brightly in the cold, sky As he made for his limo and bade his And an age may air I fail to regret That visit from St. Nicholson, which Id forget
But I swear by the goose bumps upon my Ill always remember that devilish grin And his voice, crying out as he faded sight Merry Christmas to all and I hope I never see you For as long as I live, for out loud
