Fleece Mom and Dad! by Genie
(Can be sung to "¡Feliz Navidad!" by Jose Feliciano)
(Words by Jeanene Pratt ©1999 (3rd verse ©2001)
Genie's Comments: Here's one I wrote 2 years ago for our church's "Alternative Gift Market and Buy-Nothing Day" project.
Chorus:
Fleece Mom and Dad! Fleece Mom and Dad!
Fleece Mom and Dad! Don't spare their budget, make the kids feel glad! (Repeat)
We'll make the kids want a brand new Nintendo
Some Pokemons and a Tickle me Elmo!
And Ken and Barbie--so Wal-Mart can sell mo'
And fill up those shopping carts!
Chorus
For many months how the kids have implored 'em
For Beanie Babies--just watch people hoard 'em--,
Video games to relieve kiddies' boredom,
And the latest trading cards!
Chorus
Letters to Santa can be so heart-rending
With 20-page "gimme" lists that they're sending!
It's patriotic this year to be spendin',
So our bottom line stands hard!
Chorus
For many months how the kids have implored 'em
For Beanie Babies--just watch people hoard 'em--,
Video games to relieve kiddies' boredom,
And the latest trading cards!
Chorus
And the bottom line stands hard!
