I like traditional Christmas carols. Really I do. But my favorite Christmas song is an old Lieber and Stoller tune made famous by Elvis Presley in 1956, back when he was still swivelling his hips and inciting the little bobby soxer hormones. No peace on earth or mercy mild about that boy.
To do it right, you have to curl your lip and sneer. For some reason, we never sing this in church.
Well it's Christmastime pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Yeah, it's Christmastime pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You gonna see me comin'
In a big black Cadillac
Hoah it's Christmastime pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground, hmmmmm
Yeah you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town, yeah
Hang up your pretty stockings
Put out the light
Santa Claus is comin'
Down your chimney tonight
Hoah it's Christmastime pretty baby
The snow is fallin' on the ground, hmmmm
Yeah, you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
Yeah, I said you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town, yeah, oooh
Yeah. Oooh.

Next week, Andy. Next week.
Here's wishing you and mrs. claus a very rockin' Christmas.
I admit, I like the "Baby, it's cold outside..." kind of rat-pack carols.
"Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight"
I've tried that line. Never works for me. But I guess I'm not Elvis.
