Christmas Got Run Over by a UPS Truck

Chestnuts roasting on a cardboard fire
Jack Frost chips a vinyl nose
Tapes of Yuletide Carols sung by a Plywood Choir
and Mannikins Dressed Up like Eskimos
Oh, Everybody Knows
Tofu Turkey and Fake Mistletoe
Neighbors Competing with their Lights
Tiny Tots before the Tube All Aglow
Will Find it Hard to Sleep Tonight.
They know that Santa's on His Way
Mom and Dad Have Been Ordering from Amazon All Day
and Every Mother's Child is Gonna Cry
If the Room's not Stacked with Presents ... Sky High
and so I'm Offering this Simple Plea
To everyone including you and Me
Let's Keep Christmas for Family and Friends
and Make It Mean Something Special Again
