Actual lyrics to "A Holly Jolly Christmas"            My version    "Why Are You So Listless?"

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;                            My dear, why are you so listless?           
It's the best time of the year                              You've been fading fast this year
I don't know if there'll be snow,                            Say it ain't so - that you spent our dough,
but have a cup of cheer.                                    but we might be broke I fear.
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;                            Tell me, why are you so listless?
And when you walk down the street                    Saw you panhandling on the street
Say Hello to friends you know                            And say "Help me, Bro" to those who know
And everyone you meet.                                    That you're just a dead-beat.

Oh, ho, the mistletoe                                        Oh, no, where did my wallet go?
hung where you can see;                                  Was left where you could see;
Somebody waits for you;                                    Afraid if I don't soon get it back,
Kiss her once for me.                                        We might be facing bankruptcy.
Have a holly jolly Christmas,                              Oh dear, why are you so listless?
and in case you didn't hear,                              It's foreclosure now I fear
Oh by golly, have a holly,                                  Cause oh by golly you bet the house on Molly
Jolly Christmas this year.                                  To win the Preakness last year!
