CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

THE NITE BEFORE

T'WAS DA NIGHT BEFORE WELFARE AND ALL THROUGH DA LAND
EVERYBODY WAS STARVING BOTH WOMAN AND MAN
DA MINISTER OF WELFARE WAS IN BED BUT AWAKE
HE WAS GETTING SOME THAT NIGHT SO DA CHECKS THEY COULD WAIT

THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER
"QUE PASA?" HE YELLED! "SAY WHAT? WAZ DA MATTER?"
HE JUMPED OUTTA BED THROUGH DA KITCHEN HE RAN
TRIPPED OVER DA CAT AND KNOCKED OVER DA FAN

HE LOOKED DOWN DA HALLWAY AND WHAT DID APPEAR?
A BINNER A NATIVE AND FEW THER PEERS
A TIRED OLD WOMAN HER FACE FULL OF WOE
GAVE OUT A YELL "HEY COUGH UP DA DOE!"

THE MINISTER POUTED "I'M SORRY I'M WRONG"
BUT ALAS OF COURSE WE'VE ALL HEARD THAT SONG
HE GAVE OUT THE CHEQUES AND HE PASSED OUT STALE BEER
THEN HE SAID WITH A SNEER "SEE YA SAME TIME NEXT YEAR!"

THE GOLDEN BIN

I PRAY THIS YEAR THAT I WILL WIN
THE CHANCE TO DIVE THAT GOLDEN BIN
THE GOLDEN BIN IT HOLDS NO TIN
HAS COFFEE BRASS AND MAYBE GIN
IT JUST MIGHT HOLD A DREAM OR TWO
A LOTTO TICKET TRIPS TO THE ZOO
TVS RADIOS COMPUTERS OLD
THERE'S JUST NO TELLING WHAT IT MAY HOLD

YOU'LL KNOW I'VE FOUND THE GOLDEN BIN
FOR ON MY FACE WILL BE A GRIN
A VCR MAYBE I'VE FOUND
A BRICK OF GOLD MAYBE A CROWN
ONE THING I KNOW I'LL FIND NO DOPE
THE GOLDEN BIN HAS LOVE AND HOPE
IT MAYBE THICK IT MAYBE THIN
BUT STILL WILL BE THE GOLDEN BI N

THE GOLDEN BIN IS FULL OF GRACE
IT'S FULL OF LOVE FOR EVERY RACE
THE GOLDEN BIN IS NEVER LOCKED
THE GOLDEN BIN IS FULLY STOCKED
MAYBE I'LL FIND SOME BOOTS OR SOCKS
THE GOLDEN BIN IT HOLDS NO ROCKS
FROM THE EAST NORTH SOUTH OR WEST
THAT GOLDEN BIN WILL BE THE BEST

UNLIKE THE UNCARING CITY TART
THE GOLDEN BIN GIVES FROM THE HEART
IN SUN SNOW SLEET OR RAIN
IT GIVES AND GIVES WITH NO PAIN
THE GOOSE THAT LAID THAT GOLDEN EGG
KNOWS THAT I WON'T NEED TO BEG
NO NEEDLES IN THAT GOLDEN BIN
THE GOLDEN BIN SOMEDAY I'LL WIN
