Winter Wonderland

Every Christmas Eve, my family has some friends over to eat delicious food, have good times, and sing carols. We’ve got a packet with a bunch of lyrics that was a printout from some radio station ages ago, and some of them are a little…interesting.

In Winter Wonderland, for example:

“In the meadow we can build a snowman / and pretend that he’s a circus clown / we’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman / until the alligators knock him down”

…?

Also my favorite Christmas carol, straight from this packet —

Deck Us All with Boston Charlie (in the tune of Deck the Halls)

Deck us all with Boston Charlie, walla walla, wash, an’ Kalamazoo

Nora’s freezin’ on the trolley, swaller dollar cauliflower alley’garoo!

Don’t we know Archic Barrel, lullaby lilla boy, Louisville Lou,

Trolley Molly don’t love Harold, Boola boola Pensacoola hullabaloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly, Polly Wolly cracker ‘n’ too-da-loo!

Donkey bonny brays a carol, Antelope Cantaloupe, ‘lope with you!

Hunky Dory’s pop is lolly / gagin on the wagon, Willy, folly go through!

Cholie’s colli barks at Barrow, harum scarum five alarum bung-a-loo!

Duck us all in bowls of barley, hinky dinky dink an’ polly voo!

Chilly Filly’s name is Chollie, Chollie Filly’s jolly chilly view halloo!

Bark us all bow-wows of folly, double-bubble, toyland trouble,

Woof, woof, woof, tizzy seas on melon collie!

Dibble-dabble, scribble-scrabble! GOOF, GOOF, GOOF!!
