A New Favorite

...Christmas song
(Thanks to Sufjan Stevens)

Come on! let’s boogie to the elf dance

tie up your boots
jump off the ladder
pack up your clothes
nothing’s the matter
mistletoe hangs up in the bedroom
your sister’s bangs, she cut them herself

santa is here
sleigh bells are ringing
twenty one elves
they are all singing
kmart is closed
so is the bakery
everyone’s home watching tv

santa claus is coming
hear the banjos strumming
santa claus is coming
hear the banjos strumming

chestnuts and fire
holly and hay
jesus and mary
what a great day
evergreen tree covered in snow
tower of babel tower of glow

there’s a m_______????
and there’s a ________????
they give us good gifts
like mittens and socks

hijack a snowplow
clear out the streets
tell all the neighbors
there’s cookies to eat

get up off the floor and get in the shower
there’s a lot to shout about
santa claus is coming to town
he’s got the greatest gifts around

away in the manger
no crib for a bed
little lord jesus lay down his sweet head
the stars in the sky look down where he lay
the little lord jesus asleep on the hay
the cattle are lowing the baby awakes
little lord jesus, no crying he makes

I like that one a lot too. Did you get the whole album? or rather the whole album set? Isn't it GREAT. Mmmm... it's been keeping me sane these last 2 weeks. I have my Spanish competency exam in an hour. It will determine if I can speak spanish or not. It will also determine 27% of my grade which is currently a B+ and I really want it to be an A. I'm kinda nervous....
