Christmas time is here again
Or nearly so, once Advent's through
The young ones have handled their pink and white candles
And wonderful presents and pudding are soon
Surely Santa is coming at last!
Surely his revelation's at hand
He'll fly on a sleigh without delay
To satisfy children's material demands
Yes, see he rides upon a pale horse
From a desolate wasteland where no one has been
He carries a list, and all good little Christians
Should pray that their names are written therein
He knows who's holy and who is not
For Santa's good gifts are for only the good
And lasses and lads who are naughty and bad
Their sole recompense shall be fire and blood
The judgment which Santa delivers is cruel
Day of wrath, O day of mourning!
When for the wicked comes Christmas morn!
And what rough beast, its hour now come
Crawls to Bethlehem to be born?
