Here's my transcription from YouTube:
CHRISTMAS GOOSE
As sung by Stan Boreson & Doug Setterberg
Tune: SNOWBIRD, famously sung by Anne Murray
1. Well, holy smoke, it's Christmas time again!
My wife just sent me to the store to buy a roasting hen.
Their chickens were all gone, so what's the use?
And I wound up with one old scrawny skinny Christmas goose.
2. On the way back home, I stopped to have a brew,
And stayed for sev'ral hours 'cause I met some guys I knew.
When I got home, I gave my wife the goose.
When she hit me with a rolling pin, I swallowed all my snus. [=snuff]
3. If I had wings, then I would fly away,
And I would leave that old bat home until next Christmas day.
I just can't take no more of this abuse.
Why did she get so mad at me for just one Christmas goose?
4. There's no one quite so mean as Ingeborg
Than she is in the kitchen fixing Christmas smorgasbord.
She's big and strong and, boy, is she obtuse!
And she knocked me silly on account of just one Christmas goose.
5. If I had wings then I would fly away,
And I would leave that old bat home until next Christmas day.
It would be fun to be out on the loose,
But on second thought, I'll hang around and sha-a-a-are that Christmas goo-oose.
