Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Jolly Old St. Nicholas + parody
Subject: Lyr Add: JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS (Stan Boreson)
Stan Boreson sings a parody version of JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS, using his customary Scandinavian accent, on his album "I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas." You can hear it at YouTube. I assume he invented the chorus.

JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS
As sung by Stan Boreson

Jolly old Saint Nicholas, you just stay away
Unless you bring a coat of fur for my wife Christmas day.
She will really beat me up if she don't get that coat.
It don't have to be a mink; it could be billy-goat.

CHORUS: Jingle, jingle, tinkle, tinkle, sleigh bells in the snow.
It's jolly old Saint Nicholas and his reindeer, don't you know.
Jingle, jingle, tinkle, tinkle, sleigh bells in the snow.
It's jolly old Saint Nicholas and his reindeer, don't you know.

Ingvall wants a choo-choo train; Tina wants a dolly.
My uncle needs a brand-new brain; his old one's shot, by golly.
Little Larsie wants a drum; now, don't you bring him that.
He would drive us crazy with his rat-a-tat, tat-tat-tat.

CHORUS

Hjalmar says he wants a wig that cover up his head,
But if you ain't got one right now, a mop will do instead.
Please bring me some brand-new jokes; the old ones that I tell
Just would drive the sanest man into a padded cell.

CHORUS
