Verse 1
just some lights within a tree
and then the mailbox got
all lit up
then the chimney
and then the eaves
and then the half shell
Mary was blinking neon blue
then their hydrant doghouse
B

and then they built a petting zoo
with electric reindeer llamas
horses donkeys mules
A

and and a life -size baby Jesus,
sparkling like a desert jewel.
A

Well, the light so rattled
the neighborhood
that the Smiths planned a revolt,
thousand jolts.
the Wheelers pinched a Grinch,
with eight -foot flames
and did not flinch.
while things got so darn cluttered
that every house along the street

Well then Connecticut, Rhode Island,
state by state,
all of America turned black as slate.
A
E
Oh, Canada, then Mexico,
fell into a deep shadow.
Across the Atlantic, the Eiffel Tower popped
and fizzed and was out of power.
London, Rio, Tokyo were in the dark,

Now who would have thought that the sky
would know how to put on a Christmas show
