Lyric Lessons

Singing all those Christmas songs, some things hit you. For instance:

The message of "Rudolph": As long as others can use you, you'll never want for friends.

From "Do You Hear What I Hear?":

A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Talk about the gift of the magi.

How about this famous line:

Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day

It may be known as "Chestnust Roasting On An Open Fire," but the actual title is 'The Christmas Song." How arrogant do you have to be to name it that?

Scariest Christmas song? Easy. "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," which is one long threat. If it weren't about Santa, it would fit Halloween better.
