The Coal Bearer

VERSE

A lump of coal in your sock
Or a twinkle light that goes out one night
And kills the whole string a-ling a-ling

A-ling a-ling the bells all go 'ring'
For your baby king -- it don't mean a thing
To the grinch on your couch
(Yeah, he's a mean one)


CHORUS

Cause I'm leaving you on Christmas day
And there ain't a word that you can say
The mistletoe's down from every doorway in town

I'm leaving you on Christmas day
And there ain't a word that you can say
The eggnog we found it done spilled on the ground


VERSE

An elf with a hole in his head
found one day in bed
much to Santa's dread
cause what gift can you give...

The smell of Donor's burnt hide
In the morning light
As the fire dies
And the yule log comes down hard to wake you...


CHORUS

Cause I'm leaving you on Christmas day
And there ain't a word that you can say
I shot that reindeer, and stuffed it with tears

I'm leaving you on Christmas day
And there ain't a word that you can say
You can beg me all night, but this sled's taken flight
