I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap
including all my major crevices, including in between my toes
and in my belly button, which I never did before
but sort of enjoyed
I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo
and used cream rinse for that just-washed shine
I can't seem to find my toothbrush
so I'll pick one up when I go out today
Other than that I'm in good shape
Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I made my family disappear
I made my family disappear
I made my family disappear
I made my family disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear

There's No Santa Claus

The worst thing to happen to me was on Christmas
Oh god, it was so horrible
It was Christmas Eve, and I was 9 years old
Me and mom were decorating the tree
waiting for dad to come home from work
A couple hours went by, daddy wasn't home
So mom called the office, no answer
Christmas Day came and went and still nothing
So the police began a search
Four or five days went by
Neither one of us could eat or even sleep
Everything was falling apart
and it was snowing outside
The house was freezing
so I went in to light up the fire
and that's when I noticed the smell
The firemen came and broke through the chimney top
Me and mom were expecting them
to pull out a dead cat or bird
Instead they pulled out my father
He was dressed up in a Santa Claus suit
He'd been climbing down the chimney on Christmas Eve
His arms were loaded with presents
he was gonna surprise us
he slipped and broke his neck
he died instantly
And...
That's how I found out there's no Santa Claus

I know I don't deserve a Christmas
even if I did do a good deed
I don't want any presents
Instead, I want to take back every mean thing
I ever said to my family
Even if they don't take back the things they said to me
Even if they don't take back the things they said to me
I don't care, I love all of them... including Buzz
If it isn’t possible I can see all of them
could I just see my mother?
I'll never want another thing as long as I live
I'll never want another thing as long as I live
I just want my mother
I know I won't see her tonight,
but promise me I can see her again
sometime, any time
even if it's just once
and only for a couple minutes
I just need to tell her
I just need to tell her
I just need to tell her I'm sorry
Tonight

Red Ryder

Ah, there it is, my house
and good old Cleveland Street
How could I ever forget it?
And there I am, with that dumb round face and
that stupid stocking cap
But no matter, Christmas was on its way
Lovely, glorious, beautiful Christmas
around which the entire kid year revolved
Downtown Hohman was prepared for
its yearly bacchanalia of
peace on earth and good will to men
Higbees' corner window was traditionally
a high-water mark of the pre-Christmas season
First nighters, packed earmuff to earmuff
jostled in wonderment
before a golden tinkling display
of mechanized, electronic joy
Wow, there it is
the holy grail of Christmas gifts
the Red Ryder 200-shot range model air rifle.
And there he is
Red Ryder himself
In his hand was the knurled stock of as coolly deadly-looking
a piece of weaponry as ever I had laid eyes on
For weeks, I had been scheming
to get my mitts on one of these
fearsome blue-steel beauties
My fevered brain seethed
with the effort of
trying to come up with the infinitely subtle devices
necessary to implant
the Red Ryder range model air rifle indelibly
into my parents' subconscious
Wow, there it is
the holy grail of Christmas gifts
the Red Ryder 200-shot range model air rifle.
And there he is
Red Ryder himself
In his hand was the knurled stock of as coolly deadly-looking
a piece of weaponry as ever I had laid eyes on
