Bad Christmas lyrics at Snopes (via xrlq)

My favorite:

Bells on Bob's tail ring,
Making spareribs bright;
What fun it is to write and sing
A slaying song to knives.

#6  No catalog of perverted Christmas carols would be complete without Bob Rivers':

Walking Around in Women's Underwear
SUNG TO THE TUNE OF "WINTER WONDERLAND"

Lacy things the wife is missin'
Didn't ask for her permission
I'm wearing her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walking 'round in women's underwear.

In the store, there's a teddy
With little straps like spaghetti.
It holds me so tight
Like handcuffs at night.
Walking 'round in women's underwear.

In the office there's a guy named Melvin
He pretends that I am Murphy Brown
He'll say, "Are you ready?"
We'll say, "Whoa man!"
Let's wait until the wife is out of town."

Later on, if you wanna
We can dress like Madonna
Put on some eye shade
And join the parade
Walking 'round in women's underwear.

Lacy things, missin'
Didn't ask, permission
I'm wearing her clothes
Her silk pantyhose
Walking 'round in women's underwear.

#5  Of course, Walt had variations on his variations.

"Tickle, Salty, Boss Anchovy,
Walla walla wash and a Kangaroo..."

#4  From a '70s MAD

O little town of Washington,
We hear no Agnew speech;
The Senate's bare;
No one is there;
And Nixons in Palm Beach!

Though Congressmen forsake thee,
We known why they're not here;
the filth and grime
And slums and crime
Might mar their Christmas cheer!

#3  GK-
You have no idea what a smile that brought to my face this morning - singing 'Boston Charlie' is a very fondly remembered part of my childhood.

#2  My favorite version of "Deck the Halls" comes from none other than Walt Kelly's Pogo 'Possum:

Deck us all with Boston Charlie,
Walla Walla, Wash., an' Kalamazoo!
Nora's freezin' on the trolley,
Swaller dollar cauliflower alley-garoo!
Don't we know archaic barrel
Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?
Trolley Molly don't love Harold,
Boola boola Pensacola hullabaloo!
