A Christmas Song by Nate King Cohen

Hot Dogs Roasting on an open fire,
Hebrew National you know,
The Shimah being sung by a choir,
And Bubby’s Schmatta doesn’t go.

Everybody knows Fricassee and a Pot Roast
Help to bind you so tight.
There’s no need to attempt to go,
We’re having Ex Lax with dessert tonight.

They know that Uncle Morty’s on his way;
He's loaded Halvah and Rugelach today.
And every mother's child is going to try,
To avoid Sophie’s Gefilte fish and fries.

And so I'm offering this simple truth,
To kids named Ike and Saul and Ruth
Although we’ve eaten each year with Irv and Fay
We’re going out for Chinese next Christmas day!
