The lyrics to this lovely song came from my local newspaper. An article by Mark Saal.
Nuttin For Christmas
Verse 1
My parents broke my piggy bank
It's the e-con-o-my
To fill our SUV's gas tank
It's the economy
We can't afford to deck the hall
Buy stuff at the shopping mall
Mommy's turned to alcohol
It's the economy
Chorus:
Oh, I'm gettin nuttin for Christmas
Folks here on Main Street are mad
I'm gettin nuttin for Christmas
Cause Wall Street's been nuttin but bad
Verse 2
December sure is looking bleak
Blame Ben Bernanke
Against the yen the dollar's weak
Blame Ben Bernanke
They bailed out banks not in the black
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Now GM wants it's cash stack
Blame Ben Bernanke
Chorus
Oh, I'm gettin nuttin for Christmas
Mommy says Daddy got canned
I'm gettin nuttin for Christmas
So you sub-prime folks can pound sand
Verse 3
They say we're in a re-cess-ion
There goes the GDP
And headed for a de-press-ion
There goes the GDP
But I believe, I truly feel
Our economy will heal
Course, I still think Santa's real
There goes the GDP
Chorus
Yes, I'm gettin nuttin for Christmas
It's such a sad holiday
I'm getting nuttin for Christmas
Cause Dad lost his 401K
HOL LEE! Nail head meet hammer! That is some heavy lyrics!
