Christmas Bells Lyrics

FIVE HOMELESS PEOPLE

Christmas bells are singing

On TV - At saks

Honest living, honest living
Honest living, honest living

Can't you spare a dime or two
Here but for the grace of God go you
You'll be merry
I'll be merry
Tho merry ain't in my vocabulary

No sleighbells
No Santa Claus
No yule log
No tinsel

No holly
No hearth
No

In perfect shape
Owned by an MBA from uptown

Broken in by a greedy
Broker who went broke
And then broke down

Christmas bells are swinging
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are singing
In my dreams - next year

Once you donate you can go
Celebrate in Tuckahoe
You'll feel cheery
I'll feel cheery
Tho' I don't really know that theory

No bathrobe
No Steuben glass
No cappucino makers
No pearls, no diamonds
No 'Chestnuts roasting on an open fire'
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

No room at the Holiday Inn, Oh No -

COPS

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Jingle bells - prison cells

Fa la la la - Fa la la la
You have the right to remain
Silent night holy night

Fall on your knees oh night devine
You'll do some time
Fa la la la la
Fa la la la la

JUNKIES
