Christmas Special: No Returns

Gifts lined up in a row
Each one with a bow
Corners all just so

I haven't any bling for you
All that I can bring for you
Is the song I sing for you

And when you open up 
My little song
What if I got
The size and color wrong?

Love, this is not show biz
My song comes "as is"
No returns, as is.

Christmas Special: Boxing Day


They say the most important thing's
A positive attitude
So we'll smile uneasily while
You show your gratitude:

Thank you for the twenty bucks you tipped us
Thank you!
Thank you for the bottle that you slipped us 
Thank you!
Never mind the many times you clipped us
Thank you!
Thank you for your presents on this Boxing Day


We don 't mind how often you've neglected us
We don't mind!
We don't mind that you have disrespected us
We don't mind!
The petty insults to which you have subjected us
We don't mind!
Thank you for your presents on this Boxing Day


A special day is set aside,
The feast day of St. Stephen
For charity that otherwise
You really don't believe in


Thank you for this one day when you serve us
Thank you!
When you pretend you really don't deserve us
Thank you!
Even though it only makes us nervous
Thank you!
Thank you for your presents on this Boxing Day
