Welcome to a Ghetto Science Christmas with the Fifth Alternate Financially Challenged and Concerned Citizens Community Choir, directed by Auntie Church Hat. Here’s a song from their first Christmas CD titled “Broke, Busted and Frustrated during the Holiday Season.”
Deck the halls with some more money…
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Please don’t laugh, ’cause it’s not funny… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Energy bills will make you holler…Fa, la, la, la…Fa, la, la,la…la, la, la!
Get a loan from Let Me Hold Five Dollars National Bank…La, la, la, la!
There’s a war going on in Iraq… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
A nation is anxious about the soldiers coming back… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
The people wonder what is going on… Fa, la, la, la…Fa, la, la,la…la, la, la!
When will the soldiers come home…? Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Happy Hanukah and Happy Kwanzaa… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
We don’t know. What should we say … Fa, la,la,la…Fa, la, la,la…la, la, la!
Whatever is said this year becomes controversy… Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Auntie Church Hat: During this holiday season, if you keep your head while others are losing theirs, you’ll be the only one left to get a haircut. Peace and good will on earth.
