The Nite Before Xmas 1901
(after I wrote 'the Month before Xmas' to complain about crappy xmas music, I wrote this one to explain the reason for crappy xmas music.)
its the nite before xmas in 1901
the cossacks are riding, looking for fun.
today is christ's birthday, so what shall we do?
let's go to the ghetto and kill us some Jews.
young irving escapes and he makes a long trip
he gets to new york on a leaky old ship
he walks down 5th ave and what does he see
a big load of crosses & tall xmas trees.
he gets him a piano & starts to compose
let's sing about santa & reindeer & snow.
let's make xmas secular, silly & fun
so people will forget about hating someone.
so putup the tinsel & let's watch the sky
for a guy in red suit & some reindeer that fly
Let's try to be happy and joyful & brite
so there will not be any pogroms tonite
