Wake up, JEmack, this isn't Bfair
GWhat's Cthis?
What's this? What's this?
There's something very Bwrong
What's this?
There's people singing Csongs

The streets are lined with
EmLittle creatures Claughing
EmEverybody seems sCo happy
Have I Empossibly gone Gdaffy?
What is Bthis?

There's Amchildren throwing snowballs
InsEmtead of throwing heads
They're Ambusy building toys
And absolEmutely no one's dead
There's fGmrost on every window
Oh, I cA#man't believe my eyes
And Ain my bones I feel the warmth
That's C#mcoming from insiG#de
GOh, lCook
What's this?
They're hanging Bmistletoe, they kiss
Why that looks so unCique, inspired
They're gathering arEmound to hear a Cstory
Roasting Emchestnuts on a Bfire
GWhat's Cthis?
What's this?
In here 
They've got a littBle tree, how queer
And who would ever Cthink
And why?
They're covering it with Emtiny little Cthings
They've got Emelectric lights on Cstrings
And there's a Esmile on Ceveryone
So, now, cEmorrect me if I'm wBrong
