Listen everyone, there were objects so peculiar They were not to be believed All around, things to tantalize my brainIt's a world unlike anything I've ever seen And as hard as I try, I can't seem to describe Like a most improbable dreamBut you must believe when I tell you this It's as real as my skull and it does exist Here, let me show youThis is a thing called a present The whole thing starts with a box A box? Is it steel? Are there locks? Is it filled with a pox? A pox, how delightful, a poxIf you please, just a box with bright-colored paper And the whole thing's topped with a bow A bow? But why? How ugly? What's in it? What's in it?That's the point of the thing, not to know It's a bat, will it bend? It's a rat, will it break? Perhaps it's the head that I found in the lakeListen now, you don't understand That's not the point of Christmas land Now, pay attention, we pick up an over-sized sock And hang it like this on the wallOh, yes, does it still have a foot? Let me see, let me look Is it rotted and covered with gook?Let me explain, there's no foot inside, but there's candy Or sometimes it's filled with small toys Small toys, do they bite? Do they snap? Or explode in a sack? Or perhaps they just spring out And scare girls and boysWhat a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun Why, I fully endorse it, let's try it at onceEveryone, please now, not so fast There's something here that you don't quite grasp Well, I may as well give them what they wantAnd the best, I must confess, I have saved for the last For the ruler of this Christmas land Is a fearsome king with a deep mighty voice Least that's what I've come to understandAnd I've also heard it told That he's something to behold Like a lobster, huge and redAnd sets out to slay with his rain gear on Carting bulging sacks with his big great arms That is, so I've heard it saidAnd on a dark, cold night, under full moonlight He flies into a fog, like a vulture in the sky And they call him Sandy ClawsWell, at least they're excited, though they don't understand That special kind of feeling in Christmas land, oh, well
