12. A Southern California Christmas Carol

A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHRISTMAS CAROL Lyrics

Ding, dong, ding ding Christmas bells are ringing
Sing, song, sing sing Christmas joy we’re bringing
It’s Christmas time in Southern California
(Ding, dong Christmas time in South CA)

It’s Christmas time and the kids are off from school (it’s Christmas time the kids are off from school)
We head to the mall ‘cause seeing Santa’s cool (we’re at the mall and Santa’s cool)
The temperature’s hot so we don’t wear no wool (we wear no wool)
Then we skateboard home and we jump into our pool (we olly all the way into our pool)

CHORUS
Christmas time in South CA
We can go outside and play
No icy roads or snow turning gray
It’s Xmas in South CA.

At Christmas time we just might flock a tree (at Christmas time go out and flock a tree)
We put lights on our cactus and balls on our palm tree (or other drought-resistant greenery)
The elves wear flip-flops, the toy sack Gucci (it’s from a trendy shop on Beverly)
And Santa orders In ‘n’ Out combo #3 (without the bun because he’s gluten free)

CHORUS

Ding dong ring a bell
Ain’t our Southern California Christmas swell?

So try your Christmas with a SoCal attitude (always mellow, never rude)
Where Santa’s belly shakes from a 6.8 magnitude (6.1 after it was reviewed)
In SoCal even the reindeer get tattooed (always tasteful, nothing lewd)
And Santa says to one and all, “Merry Christmas, dude.” (Santa says Merry Christmas, dude.)

CHORUS

Ding dong ding ding
The weather outside is “just the same as it was yesterday”
Sing song sing sing
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus in the carpool lane
Bing bong bling bling
Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-La-Jolla
It’s Christmas time in Southern California (Xmas in South C-A)
