Last day at school, it was time for a break Xmas coming soon, I made one big mistake. I thought I would please the kids once for all Back home they would say: "our teacher's so cool" So I plugged the old tv, I turned the lights off, played my DVD of Lord of the Rings. No explosion of joy, no hooray for me, no reaction at all, they kept staring at me. Kids, what's wrong with you: there's no lesson today, we'll watch a movie! Hey, I'll tell you what: if you remain that quiet, I'll get you candies Yet they started to moan, some did even yawn. Just as Frodon was on, the spirit was gone. A few of them raised their hands and I said: "What is it now children???" and so lucy spoke: "Sir, it is nice of you but to tell you the truth we wanna watch something starring Julie Andrews!" We wanna sing with Julie Andrews before the bells ringing And if you don't agree we'll suggest you where to stick up you candies!

I don't mind you finishing my bourbon and my brandy I don't mind you smoking cigars in my Maserati But you've got to put that skirt back on I don't care if you want to go out with my friend Jerry I don't think his Mum is gonna love you as much as me You are not the perfect bride-to-be But you're mature enough to know And dad...he died a year ago Yeah he choked to death in the middle of Christmas dinner We were just too drunk to help him with Heimlich maneuver Strangely, we've had worse evenings that year Oh please mamma don't go out tonight, stay with the family Jerry, he can wait and find a date who isn't sixty We kinda miss you since you feel so free But you're mature enough to know Or at least I'd like to think so.

Some people go to New York Some people spend it at work Some people spend it alone For Christmas, I won't stay home I'm taking the train to Jeruzalem But no lamentation wall Respect and land for all In Jesus blood I will crawl Just as the snow starts to fall I'm taking the train to Jeruzalem Under the moon I'm drinking Slovenian wine and thinking: If Jesus wants to be back, he'll surely follow my track And he'll take a train from Jerusalem And he'll take a train from Jerusalem
