Subject: Lyr Add: THE RESTROOM DOOR SAID 'GENTLEMEN' From: catspaw49 Date: 22 Nov 02 - 01:56 PM We've had some threads around this but this oughta' be good to see if we can get a bunch on one thread. Here are two based on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen:" THE RESTROOM DOOR SAID 'GENTLEMEN' from Bob Rivers' "Twisted Christmas" The restroom door said 'Gentlemen' so I just walked inside. I took two steps and realized I'd been taken for a ride. I heard high voices, turned and found the place was occupied by three nuns, two old ladies and a nurse. What could be worse than three nuns, two old ladies and a nurse? The restroom door said 'Gentlemen' it must have been a gag. As soon as I walked in there, I ran into some old hag. She sprayed me with a can of mace and hit me with her bag. It just wasn't turning out to be my day. What can I say? It just wasn't turning out to be my day! The restroom door said 'Gentlemen' and I would like to find the crummy little creep who had the nerve to switch the sign. Because I've got two black eyes and one high heel up my behind. Now I'll never sit in comfort or joy. Boy oh boy! Now I'll never sit in comfort or joy. OR this one....a catspaw original...... The Miserable Tailor from the twisted mind of catspaw God damn you Harry Mendelson These pants are much too short The cuffs don't cover up my socks I'm sorry to report The belt loops they are all in back The crotch is at my knees What a miserable tailor are you You sunnavabitch What a miserable tailor are you! God damn you Harry Mendelson This vest's a total wreck You've cut it wrong its plain to see It buttons to my neck! The fourteen buttons don't line up With eleven buttonholes What a miserable tailor are you You sunnavabitch What a miserable tailor are you God damn you Harry Mendelson The coat is all wrong too One lapel is bright red plaid The other pinstripe blue The left sleeve covers up my hand The right one isn't there What a miserable tailor are you You sunnavabitch What a miserable tailor are you Then you can check out this thread on Jingle Bells for some parodies there. Also, not to be forgotten is the following to "Winter Wonderland:" WALKIN' ROUND IN WOMEN'S UNDERWEAR (Bob Rivers) Lacy things -- the wife is missin', Didn't ask -- her permission, I'm wearin' her clothes, Her silk pantyhose, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear. In the store -- there's a teddy, Little straps -- like spaghetti, It holds me so tight, Like handcuffs at night, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear. In the office there's a guy named Melvin, He pretends that I am Murphy Brown. He'll say, "Are you ready?" I'll say,"Whoa, Man!" "Let's wait until our wives are out of town!" Later on, if you wanna, We can dress -- like Madonna, Put on some eyeshade, And join the parade, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear! Lacy things... missin', Didn't ask... permission, Wearin' her clothes, Her silk pantyhose, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear, Walkin' 'round in women's underwear! I'm sure some additional things will be showing up soon. Spaw |

Subject: Lyr Add: DO YOU FEAR WHAT I FEAR? From: Rustic Rebel Date: 23 Nov 02 - 02:02 PM Here's one that seems to fit into many of our thread topics lately "Do You Hear What I Hear? "Do You Fear What I Fear?" Parody by William Tong (instrumental intro) To the Right Wing, said their little man: "Can I be Dick Cheney?" Duh-Buh-Ya is their little man. Strings pulled by Dick Cheney. Thus far, thus far, Bush danced to the right. And he's out looking for a fight... And he's out looking for a fight. Yes, this little man is just Poppy's boy. Do you fear what I fear? Bringing sleaze and lies is Bush Boy. Do you fear what I fear? His right wing throng... stole democracy, And installed Bush's monarchy. They installed Bush's monarchy. See Pop's little boy try to be the king. What the hell does he know? As the Right Wing swarms on this king. What the hell does he know? His power compiled, through the right wing fold. From our rainbow, Bush stole the gold. From our rainbow, Bush stole the gold. Bogus king said to people: "I don't care! Better do what I say! I've got spies, people - everywhere! Better do what I say!" King Bush's style: sleeping day and night. While he takes his duties so light. While he takes his duties so light.

Patent leather boots and psychadelic clothes With little granny glasses upon his nose.

Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: Bob Bolton Date: 25 Nov 02 - 09:40 PM G'day, At the Loaded Dog Folk Club, last Saturday, one item that appeared in the blackboard concert was Santa Claus is Dead. This starts with (~): Santa Claus is dead - They found him in a toy shop; A bullet through his head. A note pinned to his jacket, Confirmed what papers tell: That he was on the payroll Of Toltoys and Mattel. I thought I would be likely to find it in the DT ... but no! It tried various net searches: "Santa Claus is dead " got 92,900 hits - but the top 20 didn't have anything vaguely like a song! A smart search on "santa(AND)mattel(AND)dead" trimmed it to 1990 hits - but little suggestion of a song. The lady who sang it has moved out of Sydney, or I would ask her ... but it was a great song and I'm sure there must be 'catters who can find it (for a friend who was in the audience and asked if I knew it ... I said no problem ... Huh!). Regards, Bob Bolton |
Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: Hrothgar Date: 26 Nov 02 - 02:40 AM Bob, I think that starts with the line "Christmas has been cancelled..." To the tune, I think, of "Lili Marlene." There are a couple of verses out there somewhere. I'll have a look. |

Deck the halls with hunks of holly, Fill the cup and don't say when. Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens, Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens. Even though the prospect sickens, Brother, here we go again. On Christmas Day you can't get sore, Your fellow man you must adore. There's time to rob him all the more The other three hundred and sixty-four. Relations, sparing no expense, 'll Send some useless old utensil, Or a matching pen and pencil. ("Just the thing I need, how nice!") It doesn't matter how sincere it is, Nor how heart felt the spirit, Sentiment will not endear it, What's important is the price. Hark, the Herald Tribune sings, Advertising wondrous things. God rest ye merry merchants, May ye make the Yuletide pay. Angels we have heard on high, Tell us to go out and buy! So, let the raucous sleigh bells jingle, Hail our dear old friend Kris Kringle, Driving his reindeer across the sky. Don't stand underneath when they fly by. |

Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: GUEST Date: 22 Dec 07 - 02:13 AM I always liked this one. Not so much a parody though. Merry Christmas you suckers, You miserable men, That old festive season is with you again, You'll be spending your money on cartloads of junk, And from here to new year you'll be drunk as a skunk. Merry Christmas you suckers, It's perfectly clear, That you fall for it all a bit sooner each year, If it goes on like this you will find pretty soon, That you're singing "White Christmas" as early as June. This Christmas card racket, Will cost you a packet, Each season it seems to expand, The cards are so clever, Though nothing whatever, To do with the subject in hand You'll be taking the kids round to multiple stores, To be frightened to death by some old Santa Claus, Then its parties with spirits and vino and beer, Merry Christmas you suckers, And a happy new year. Merry Christmas you suckers, You bleary-eyed lot, You'll never get rid of that headache you've got, But I hope you feel splendid you certainly should, With your stomachs distended with turkey and pud.' Merry Christmas you suckers, Jump into your cars, Roar off to your neighbours, To sink a few jars, Though your vision is double just keep smiling through, There are others in trouble a lot worse than you. Beyond any question acute indigestion, Will plague you and make you unwell, You won't take the warning, You'll wake up each morning, Undoubtedly feeling like hell, But stick to it suckers, Go swallow a pill, For this is the season of peace and goodwill, While we patiently wait for that nuclear blast… Merry Christmas you suckers, it may be your last. |

And when they sewed his nose on, Santy sewed it upside down. Now every time the rain falls, poor ol' Randy nearly drowns. Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say: "Randolph, with your nose so flat, won't you tell me where I'm at?" Then Randy took a deep breath and he looked so very strange. "We're out behind the stockyards. How I wish the wind would change!" Randy tried to hitch a ride one cold December day. He jumped on the back of a Chevrolet and the backfire took his breath away. Randolph the flat-nosed reindeer wished his nose would glow instead, But it will never light up, 'cause his batteries were dead. Randolph the flat-nosed reindeer! |
Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: GUEST Date: 02 Jun 09 - 12:11 PM For those who are old enough to remember Stan Freberg, here is the transcript of his "Green Christmas," a record that came out (Taken directly from Stan Freberg's book "It Only Hurts When I Laugh" by Eric Hullquist ) SCROOGE: (SINGING) Bah, humbug, everybody. CHORUS: Good morning, Mr. Scrooge! SCROOGE: Well, the meeting will come to order, if you please. Are all the advertising people represented here? CHORUS: Everyone except Amalgamated Cheese! MUSIC: OUT SCROOGE: Well, if they're not here for the Christmas pitch, I can't help them find new ways of tying their product in to Christmas. That's why I'm chairman of this board! Let's hear it for me! CHORUS: Hear, hear! SCROOGE: All right, Abercrombie, what are your people up to? ABERCROMBIE: Ahhh, same thing as every year. Fifty thousand billboards showing Santa Claus pausing to refresh himself with our product. SCROOGE: Mmmmm, hmmm, well, I think the public has come to expect that and . . . ABERCROMBIE: That's right. It's become tradition! SCROOGE: You there, Crass, uhh, I suppose your company's running the usual magazine ads showing cartons of your cigarettes peeking out of the top of Santa's sack? CRASS: Better than that! This year we have him smoking one. SCROOGE: Um-hmmm... CRASS: Yes. We've got Santa a little more rugged, too. Both sleeves rolled up and a tattoo on each arm. One of 'em says "Merry Christmas." SCROOGE: What does the other one say? CRASS: "Less tar!" SCROOGE: Great stuff! CRATCHET: But Mr.Scrooge... SCROOGE: What? Who are you? CRATCHET: Bob Cratchet, sir. I've got a little spice company over in East Orange, New Jersey. Do I have to tie my product in to Christmas? SCROOGE: What do you mean? CRATCHET: Well, I was just going to send cards out showing the three wise men following the Star of Bethlehem... SCROOGE: I get it! And they're bearing your spices. Now that's perfect. CRATCHET: No, no... no product in it. I was just going to say, "Peace on Earth... Good Will Toward Men." VOICES: MUMBLING IN BACKGROUND MAN: Well, that's a peculiar slogan! SCROOGE: Old hat, Cratchet! That went out with button shoes! You're a businessman . . . Christmas is something to take advantage of! MUSIC: PUNCTUATES SCROOGE: A red and green bandwagon to jump on! MUSIC: PUNCTUATES SCROOGE: A sentimental shot in the arm for sales! Listen! MUSIC: CYMBAL CRASH CHORUS: Deck the halls with advertising, Fa la la la la la la la la. While you can be enterprising, Fa la la la la la la la la. On the fourth day of Christmas, My true love gave to me Four bars of soap, Three cans of peas, Two breakfast foods, And some toothpaste on a pear tree! On the fifth day of Christmas, My true love gave to me. . . SCROOGE: Five tube-less tires! CHORUS: Fo-ur quarts of gin, Three ci-gars, Two cig-ar-ettes, And some hair tonic on a pear tree! (TEMPO CHANGES ROMANTICALLY) Chest-nuts roasting. . . ANNOUNCER: Sayyyy, Mother, as sure as there's an X in Christmas, you can be sure those are Tiny Tim Chestnuts roasting. Tin-y Tim Chestnuts are frill-bodied . . . longer lasting! This visible shell . . . SOUND: KNOCK-KNOCK ANNOUNCER: ...protects the nut! Now with X-K 29 added, for people who can't roast after every meal. GIRL TRIO: Tin-ee Tim! Tin-ee Tim! Chest-nuts all the way! ANNOUNCER: Tin-y Tim's roast hot... like a chestnut ought! And.. . they are (ECHO) mild, mild, mild, mild. ORCHESTRA: PUNCTUATES CHORUS: Deck the halls with advertising, Fa la la la la la la la la. 'Tis the time for merchandising, Fa la la la la la la la la. Profit never needs a reason, Fa la la la la la la la la. Get the money, it's the season, Fa la la la la la la la la. SCROOGE: Words to live by, Cratchet! CRATCHET: For you, maybe. Can't you just wish someone merry Christmas, for the pure joy of doing it? SCROOGE: Why? What's the percentage in that? Let me show you how to make Christmas work for you! CHORUS: We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, And please buy our beer! SCROOGE: There you go, Cratchet! That's Christmas with a purpose. CRATCHET: I know, but wait a minute. Don't you guys make enough profit the other eleven months? Christmas comes but once a year. SCROOGE: Humph! Funny thing you should bring that up. That's exactly the point I was about to make. Hit it, boys! SCROOGE: Christmas comes but once a year, So you better make hay while the snow is falling, That's opportunity calling you! CHORUS: Rub your hands, December's here, What a wonderful time to be Glad and merry! SCROOGE: Just so you're mercenary too! CHORUS: Buy an ad and show all the toys, Show all the toys up on the shelf SCROOGE: Just make sure that you get a plug, You get a plug, In for yourself! SCROOGE AND CHORUS: Christmas comes but once a year, So you better cash in, While the spirit lingers, It's slipping through your fingers, Boy! Don't you realize Christmas can be such a Monetary joy! CRATCHET: Well, I guess you fellows will never change. SCROOGE: Why should we? Christmas has two s's in it, and they're both dollar signs. CRATCHET: Yeah, but they weren't there to begin with. SCROOGE: Eh? CRATCHET: The people keep hoping you'll remember. But you never do. SCROOGE: Remember what? CRATCHET: Whose birthday we're celebrating. SCROOGE: Well, ....... don't get me wrong. The story of Christmas, in its simplicity, is a good thing - I'll buy that. It's just that we know a good thing when we see it. CRATCHET: But don't you realize Christmas has a significance, a meaning. SCROOGE: A sales curve! Wake up, Cratchet, it's later than you think. CRATCHET: I know, Mr. Scrooge, I know. CHORUS: On the first day of Christmas, The advertising's there, with Newspaper ads, Billboards too, Business Christmas cards, And commercials on a pear tree. . . Jingles here, jingles there, Jingles all the way. Dashing through the snow, In a fifty-foot coup-e O'er the fields we go, Selling all the way. . . Deck the halls with advertising, What's the use of compromising, Fa la la la la la la la la. MUSIC: AS TRADITIONAL HYMNS ATTEMPT TO BREAK THROUGH THE MUSICAL ENDING, IT BUILDS TO A CRESCENDO. WE HEAR "JINGLE BELLS" PUNCTUATED WITH THE SOUND OF A CASH REGISTER RINGING UP SALES.

Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 18 Dec 09 - 11:25 AM I' sorry - I just had to..... Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer By Randy Brooks Sung by Elmo & Patsy Shropshire Elmo was actually a veterinarian in northern California, so I'm told. He and his ex-wife, Patsy, did a number of novelty tunes, of which this is, by far, the most famous (or infamous): CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer walkin' home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa. But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog. And we'd begged her not to go. But she'd forgot her medication, and she staggered out the door into the snow. When we found her Christmas mornin,' at the scene of the attack. She had hoof prints on her forehead, And incriminatin' Claus marks on her back. CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walkin' home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Now were all so proud of Grandpa. He's been takin' this so well. See him in there watchin' football, drinkin' beer and playin' cards with cousin Belle. It's not Christmas without Grandma. All the family dressed in black. And we just can't help but wonder: Should we open up her gifts or send them back? (Send them back) CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walkin' home from our house Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Now the goose is on the table. And the pudding made of fig. And a blue and silver candle, that would just have matched the hair in Grandma's wig. I've warned all my friends and neighbors. "Better watch out for yourselves." They should never give a license, to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves. CH: Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and Grandpa, we believe. (Sing it Grandpa) CH: (in deep baritone) Grandma got run over by a reindeer, walkin' home from our house, Christmas eve. You can say there's no such thing as Santa, but as for me and Grandpa, we believe. Merry Christmas |

Don't laugh at me because I'm dead or I'll kill you! This is ment to n ot affened any one so dont takeit seriously |
Subject: Lyr Add: RAGNAR THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER (Boreson) From: Jim Dixon Date: 29 Jun 11 - 06:36 PM This version sung by Stan Boreson is very similar to the version called RANDOLPH THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER, sung by Homer & Jethro—see their version above. I don't know whose version came first. "Ragnar" is appropriate since Boreson, as usual, sings his parodies in a Scandinavian accent. You can hear it at YouTube. Note that Boreson has an introductory verse and an extra bridge that are not in H&J's version. RAGNAR THE FLAT-NOSED REINDEER As sung by Stan Boreson (& Doug Setterberg) This is track #06 on their album "I Yust Go Nuts at Christmas" You know, Oscar, this song about Prancer and Vixen (Ya?) Sounds mighty fine but the words need some fixin'. (Oh?) Though the tune's the same, We've changed old Rudolph's name. (To what, pray tell?) We call him Ragnar the flat-nosed reindeer—had a funny-looking snout, So Santa cut his nose off, just to try and smooth it out, And when he sewed his nose on, Santa got it upside down. Now ev'ry time the rain falls, poor old Ragnar nearly drowns. Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say: "Ragnar, with your nose so flat, Won't you tell me where it's at?" Then Ragnar took a deep breath, and he looked so very strange. He said, "We're out behind the stockyards. Hoo! How I wish the wind would change!" (It'll never get well if you pick it.) (No. Now spell on your bells. Beautiful!) Ragnar got a Christmas cold; he caught it in his snoot, And ev'ry time he blew his nose, he found he blew his mind to boot. Rooty-toot toot! (Ragnar was a way-out reindeer.) Ragnar the flat-nosed reindeer wished his nose would glow instead, But it would never light up, 'cause all his batteries was dead! (He burnt himself out at an early age.) |
Subject: RE: Christmas parodies From: Padre Date: 29 Jun 11 - 10:52 PM Here's a parody involving Robin Hood and Santa Chorus: Robin got run over by a reindeer Walking back from Sherwood Christmas Eve You can say there's no such thing as Santa But as for me and Friar Tuck, we believe All the outlaws down in Sherwood Have switched their green wool tights to black. Little John is on a bender, Trying to find Santa and his pack. We found Robin Christmas morning, Lying face down in the snow. He had hoofprints on his forehead What an awful way for Robin Hood to go. Lady Marian is crying, And Will Scarlet's quite distressed It's not Christmas without Robin Nottingham's not really at its best. Friar Tuck will do the requiem "Dies Irae" will be sung The gallant men who marched with Robin Now will march with their bowstrings unstrung |
