On my heavy metal Christmas my true love gave to me,  
12 silver crosses  
11 black mascaras  
10 pairs of platforms  
9 tattered t-shirts  
8 pentagrams  
7 leather jackets  
6 cans of hairspray

5 skull earrings  
4 quarts of Jack  
3 studded belts  
2 pairs of spandex pants  
And a tattoo of Ozzy!

Oh, I yust go nuts at Christmas  
On that yolly holiday  
I’ll go in the red like a knucklehead  
'Cause I’ll squander all my pay

This is Christmas season so there isn’t any reason  
We can’t dance the Christmas polka  
Hear sleigh bells ringing, everybody’s singing  
Dancing the Christmas polka

Christmas trees and holly, make everyone so jolly  
And love just fills the air  
It’s a wonderful world for a boy and a girl  
While dancing the Christmas polka

It’s Santa’s Polka  
It’s Santa’s Polka  
Santa don’t get cold  
When he’s dances at the old North Pole-ka  
He does a polka  
It’s Santa’s Polka  
Santa’s got to hop  
Because he’s got to make  
A lot of stops on Christmas Eve

There’s an old man on a sleigh  
Who’s like me for just one day  
When he bestrides the world like a huge co-co-co-colostomy  
He gets no presents, no fun  
And he’s forgotten when he’s done  
So here’s a little gift  
A little song to him, fr-fr-from me:

Merry Christmas, Santa Claus  
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus  
Merry Christmas, Santa Claus  
You are one love-love-lovely guy.

Santa baby, just slip a sable under the tree for me  
Been an awful good girl  
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a '54 convertible too, light blue  
I’ll wait up for you dear  
Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight

Think of all the fun I’ve missed  
Think of all the fella’s that I haven’t kissed  
Next year I could be just as good  
If you check off my Christmas list

Now Minnie could not be persuaded  
That Santa just did not exist  
She swore if she put up some mistletoe  
Santa’d come give her a kiss  
And there where she’d hung up her stockings  
All in their silky, soft sheen  
She’d be laying in wait on a bear skin rug  
Where the cookies and milk could be seen

Folks, here’s a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher  
She was a red hot hoochie-coocher  
She was the roughest, toughest frail  
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Everybody do the Michigan Rag  
Everybody likes the Michigan Rag  
Every Mame and Jane and Ruth

Slide, ride, glide the Michigan  
Stomp, romp, pomp the Michigan  
Jump, clump, pump the Michigan Rag  
That lovin’ rag!

Jane, you say it’s all over for you and me, girl  
There’s a time for love and a time for letting it be, baby  
Jane you’re playing a game called, hard to get by its real name  
Making believe that you just don’t feel the same  
Oh Jane

My one and only prayer  
Is that some day you’ll care  
My hopes, my dreams come true  
My one and only you

No one will ever know  
How much I love you so  
My only prayer will be  
Some day you’ll care for me  
But it’s only make believe

The only one I know  
Never cries, never opens her eyes  
The only one I know  
Wide awake and then she’s away

The only one I see  
Is mine when she walks down our street  
The only one I see  
Has carved her way into me

Take the ribbon from my hair  
Shake it loose and let it fall

Til the early mornin’ light  
All I’m takin’ is your time  
Help me make it through the night

Money, get away  
You get a good job with more pay and you’re okay

Think I’ll buy me a football team

I’ll take from the blind and I’ll get up ahead  
I’ll sneak up behind and I’ll steal  
I’ll take all that you have  
And then all that you’ve concealed  
I’ll take anything I can get - I’ll make you  
I’ll break you and I’ll make you sweat  
Nothing is worth nothing unless it’s  
Made for Midas Man
