    jingle bells
    jingle bells
    time to come off the shelves
    silver bells and tiny elves
    oh what a wonderful world
    silly boys and silly girls
    and candy canes of red-white swirls
    here it is and here it comes
    milk mustaches and cookie crumbs
    ebonezer, that old geezer
    could never stop this holy pleaser
    baby jesus, born of hay
    commercialism, that's the way
    that's the spirit, cha-ching, cha-ching
    in they come, out they go
    be the first to have the glow
    green flowing cash and rosy red cheeks
    secure the presents from tiny-eyed peaks
    stockings and wreaths
    stamp out other beliefs
    sorry george, sorry abe
    the gift of life's been given away
    it's no miracle
    it's no disaster
    it's not historical
    just paper and plastic
    what's the next line?
    oh, "it's all fantastic"
    ride the waves of green cash flow
    blood-stained earth of cherry-red snow
    so come down baby jesus
    if you wish to believe us
    it's not that you're beneath us
    you just don't complete us
    you don't bring us presents via twilight journey
    no tickle-me elmos, no bert, no ernie
    you died for our sins, but on another holiday
    so forgive our indulgence
    this is our new holy way

    especially:

    "ride the waves of green cash flow
    blood-stained earth of cherry-red snow
    so come down baby jesus
    if you wish to believe us
    it's not that you're beneath us
    you just don't complete us
    you don't bring us presents via twilight journey
    no tickle-me elmos, no bert, no ernie
    you died for our sins, but on another holiday
    so forgive our indulgence
    this is our new holy way."
