It was one more out of tune Christmas

He was too drunk to put up a fight

When his honey pie said, ‘You’re not sharing my bed!

Hang yer stockin’ at the tavern tonight!’

 

He was feelin’ his jollies this Christmas

Mistletoeing the ladies all night

Shouting, ‘Jolly good cheer!’

As he fought back a tear

Cryin’, ‘Santa’s gonna make it all right!’

 

While makin’ much merry at Paddy’s

Said the barman while cleaning his fife 

‘Fer Christ’s sake, Jerome, ain’t ya ever goin’ home?’

He said, ‘No, sir! You’ve got me for life!’ 

 

Jerome, he stood at the juke box

Croonin’ carols with all of his might

He didn’t care that his voice wasn’t there

Just as long as his Christmas was white

 

Now, Santa, he came down the chimney

And he walked right on up to the bar

Sayin’, ‘Buckets of beer for my thirsty reindeer

And I’ll play somethin’ on my guitar

 

He sang ‘Merry Christmas, ya heathens!

Love your neighbor and don't live in fear

‘Cause you’ve only this life, love and laugh without strife

And you’ll probably see me next year!’

It’s a silly little Christmas ditty I wrote to cheer myself up. I primted it out and made everyone sing it at my When I’m 64 birthday party. Seemed to go over eell. Never had anyone sing anything I wrote before. Then again, they were all drunk. Ha. Cheers, Jack.
