Mel Torme and Robert Wells wrote the lovely The Christmas Song -"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire -etc".

I have heard a parody of the song about roasting chipmunks - anyone out there with the words, please?

WHERE DID YO FIND IT? IN THE DIGITAL TRADITION?
Whatever you do , do not light a fire today,
fire danger is extremely high in late july.

CHIPMUNKS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE
(sung to the tune of CHESTNUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Frostbite chewing on your nose.
Yuletide carollers being thrown on a fire
And folks dressed up like buffaloes
Everybody knows a turkey slaughtered in the snow
Helps to make the season right.
Tiny tots with their eyes all gouged out
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of guns and bullets on his sleigh (slay?)
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really scream when they die.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from 1 to 92.
Although it's been said many times, many ways;
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Fuck you!

"Very tender Simon"
"Well done Theodore"
"Alvin you were really hot on that last note..."
"Alvin? Alvin? AL---VIN !!!!"

I have a much more clever version than that one, but apparently it didn't survive my last hard drive crash. All is not lost, however, be back to you shortly.

Guys, it's really much too soon to be talking 'bout Christmas songs, even parodies.

Have some decency!

Found it on the 'net. This version by Bob Rivers stays much more with the theme:

CHIPMUNKS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE

Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Hot sauce dripping from their toes
Yuletide squirrels fresh filleted by the choir
They poked hot skewers through their nose
Everybody knows some pepper and a garlic clove
Help to make them seasoned right
Tiny rats with a crisp golden coat
Will really hit the spot tonight

And now when Santa sees his tray
There'll be some homemade chipmunk jerky for his sleigh
And every hungry child is gonna spy
To see if chipmunks really sing when they fry
And so I'm brushing on some honey glaze
To keep them crisp and juicy too
Let's hope they get served many times many ways
Tasty Chipmunks; good food

And so I'm offering some recipes
From chipmunk pie to chipmunk stew
I'm not really sad that it ended this way
Furry chipmunks, screw you


Even found a site where you can listen to it"

Adds a whole new dimension to our Christmas repertoire (which already includes "Deck Us Now With Boston Charlie", "Walking 'Round In Women's Underwear" and Brian Chadbourne's Christmas shopping shanty).

I'm looking forward to singing it (but not looking forward to the accompanying weather or my abbreviated deadlines for getting the Real Estate Guide to the printer).
