Why does "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" advocate extortion? |
|
First, they sing the same lyric over and over and over again.
Then they demand your figgy pudding. That is, if you even have figgy pudding. Does anyone have figgy pudding? Does figgy pudding sound all that appetizing to you? But I digress...
But here's the kicker: "We won't go until we have some." Seriously? You are going to be stuck on my doorstep, singing an extremely repetitive song upon no end, until I can actually round up some dish which I've never heard of or tasted before in my life.
Wonderful, Christmas carolers. Really wonderful.

2. Merry Christmas, Snyder. |
|
You know I actually have a Redskins Christmas ornament? I meant to give it to a friend who is a Skins fan but I never got around to it, so now I'm stuck with a Redskins Christmas ornament for myself. Good grief.

3. Everyone has Lupins, but no one has figgy pudding. |
|
People even have Grey Poupon. Ask and you'll be shocked.
I dread the day the figgy pudding extortionists find me.

5. And then, the Waissailers come by to ask you for spare change (not to mention waissail!) |
|
Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green, ... blah blah ... love and joy come to you ... blah blah ... and THEN:
We have a little purse Made of ratching leather skin; We want some of your small change To line it well within.
