XMAS SONG

In keeping with Holiday Cheer, I decided to post one amateur email I received recently below as a SMALL contribution to more slick, professional, Holiday parodies, those done about Greece-Germany, EURO Land.

A fellow, name at the end, rewrote lyrics to a very well known, popular, little Xmas tune, song, ditty, with which, HOPEFULLY, all familiar: "Silver Bells."

(See BOTTOM of post for a YOUTUBE link, "Silver Bells," just in case you do NOT know it.)

So, here is HIS rendition of this popular tune.

Sing HIS lyrics to accompaniment of  "Silver Bells":

SILVER BELLS WAR IS HELL

City sidewalks 

Busy sidewalks

City sidewalks

Broken sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style 

Dressed in death's own special style

In the air                                                       

In the air

There's a feeling                                         

Bombs are flying

of Christmas in wartime

Children laughing                                        

Children crying

People passing                                            

People dying

Meeting smile after smile                            

Refugees fleeing

mile by mile

And on every street corner you'll hear        

And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells                                    

War is Hell! War is Hell!

It's Christmas time in the city                        

It's combat time in the city

Ring a ling hear them ring                            

Sirens sing, bullets zing

Soon it will be Christmas day                        

Soon it will be total silence

Strings of street lights                                    

Burned out buildings

Even stop lights                                            

At the stop points

Blink a bright red and green                        

Blood is bright red at the scene

As the shoppers rush                                    

As the people rush home with their treasures                            

Home to take measures

Hear the snow crunch                                    

Hear the boots  crunch

See the kids bunch 

See the kids hunch

This is Santa's big scene                              

This is America's big scene

And above all this bustle                                

And above all the tank noise

You'll hear 

You'll hear

Silver bells, silver bells                                    

War is Hell! War is Hell!

It's Christmas time in the city                            

We are invading the city

Ring-a-ling, hear them ring                                

See the rockets, hear them scream

Soon it will be Christmas day                            

Soon it will be Christmas day.
