I stretched, a yawn, settled back in my chair In hopes that St. Nicholson soon would be The children were awake without sleep Theyd seen all his movies; He gives them the
Id up cuckoos nest with my trusty remote To the where he had all the nuts in the boat When out in the yard, there arose a noise I off the TV to see what it was
And what to my wandering eyes should But the Los Angeles Lakers, and Pat Riley, their The limo was racing, the at its heels Thats I saw him: the man at the wheel He ranted and cursed, and waved round his stick And I knew in a second it must be Jack
More rapid the Celtics these Lakers they came He like a mad man and called them by name Now Magic, now Worthy, now and Kareem On Cooper, on Rambis and the rest of the
Down the chimney St. Nicholson came a groan Then he brushed off the suit and said, Honey, Im
He was wearing a trench coat, with beer it was And his shirt was to shreds by Shirley Maclaine He had a fat and a flabby beer belly too many trips to the bar and the deli
He said, tough when an actor becomes fat and lazy I get calls to play weirdos and crazies And middle-aged has-beens washed up careers But Ill fix them all and play this year
And with that, he buried his in the sack and said Lets see what you get your old buddy Jack A hatchet for daddy", he reared back his To all those little buggers upstairs in bed And a stiff drink for mommy in a tall glass She really use something to kill that bug up her chimney
With a of his eye and a twist of his face He threw all the stockings the fireplace What could I do? could I say? What would I wear on my feet Christmas

When youre out shopping You know, doing your Christmas things With all your little Christmas all that Christmas cheer With those Christmas songs?
Did you ever stop and of Picking up a something for old Jack? Did you ever stop to think of what might like for Christmas? You Jack from the movies up on the big screen Pouring his out, giving it everything hes got

Maybe, I wasnt good In the always rings twice Acting my guts out for you in one Cuckoos nest, the shining, of fricking Eastwick fricking honor, all for you, pal
Just to brighten up for you Not good though, is it? No, you me to brighten up the Christmas season too? Isnt that what you want, Okay, make things real bright around here
What do you say we the tree? up these pretty lights here Oh, shes brighter already What do you say we this cute little angel And ram her on the top branch,
How about gasoline for the whole thing? I mean, let's make her as bright as she can be What do you say we her up and chuck her Through the old picture here?
No point in a tree as bright As all that without the neighbors A chance to see, you think? There, you glad ole Jack stopped by
The towered brightly in the cold, wintry sky As he made for his and bade his goodbye And an age may air I fail to regret visit from St. Nicholson, which Id sooner forget
But I swear by the goose bumps my skin Ill always remember that devilish grin And his voice, out as he faded from sight Merry Christmas to all and I I never see you again For as as I live, for crying out loud
