Twas the fright before No one me With a big of popcorn, watching TV
I stretched, gave a yawn, settled back in my In hopes that St. Nicholson would be there The children were lying without sleep seen all his movies; He gives them the creeps
Id cued up cuckoos nest with my trusty To the part where he had all the nuts in the When out in the yard, there arose such a I turned off the TV to see it was
And what to my wandering should approach But the Los Lakers, and Pat Riley, their coach The limo was racing, the at its heels Thats when I saw the man at the wheel He ranted and cursed, and waved round his stick And I in a second it must be Jack Nick
More rapid than the Celtics Lakers they came He screamed like a mad man and them by name Now Magic, now Worthy, now and Kareem On Cooper, on Rambis and the rest of the
Down the chimney St. came with a groan Then he brushed off the and said, Honey, Im home
He was wearing a trench coat, with it was stained And his shirt was to shreds by Shirley Maclaine He had a fat face and a flabby beer From too many to the bar and the deli
He said, It's tough when an actor becomes fat and I only get calls to weirdos and crazies And middle-aged has-beens with up careers But Ill fix them all and play this year
And with that, he buried his head in the sack and see what you get from your old buddy Jack A hatchet for daddy", he reared back his To scare all little buggers upstairs in bed And a stiff drink for in a nice tall glass She could really use something to that bug up her chimney
With a wink of his eye and a of his face He threw all the into the fireplace What I do? What could I say? What would I wear on my feet Christmas
I for a reason and turning his head He looked straight at me and heres he said Why? You wanna why? Do you really know why, pal? Ill tell you why
When out Christmas shopping You know, doing your Christmas things all your little Christmas friends Spreading all that Christmas With those Christmas songs?
Did you ever and think of Picking up a little something for old Did you ever stop to of what Jack might like for Christmas? You know Jack the movies up on the big screen his heart 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 miserable little humdrum lives Did you ever think of good ole Jack for a No, not once, old Jack just wasnt that good
Maybe, I good enough In the postman always rings my guts out for you in that one Cuckoos nest, the shining, witches of fricking fricking honor, all for you, pal
Just to brighten up for you Not enough though, is it? No, you want me to brighten up the Christmas too? Isnt that you want, pal? Okay, let's make things real around here
do you say we decorate the tree? String up pretty lights here Oh, shes brighter already What do you say we this cute little angel And ram her on the top branch,
How some gasoline for the whole thing? I mean, let's her just as bright as she can be do you say we light her up and chuck her Through the old picture window
No point in a tree as bright As all that giving the neighbors A chance to see, you think? There, arent you ole Jack stopped by
The flames towered brightly in the cold, sky As he for his limo and bade his goodbye And an age may air I fail to regret That visit from St. Nicholson, which Id forget
But I swear by the goose upon my skin That Ill always remember that devilish 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
