T'Was the Night Before the Witness
T'was the night before the witness,
Was sheduled to testify,
I was very frightened,
It's possible I could die....
I was accused of shooting
poor defenseless Santa,
And going on a long rant'a
lasting through Christmas Eve,
The jury for some reason,
thought I had something
up my sleeve...
Now, if this wasn't a clear case,
Of breaking and entry,
Then find me guilty,
Cause it sure is beyond me
I mean, come on, soot
came shooting out the fireplace,
Then a red boot dangled,
Practically in my face....
Then this sinister chant,
Ho, ho, ho,
Tell me, how would he know,
If I am a ho?!?
Then he dropped his huge bag of loot,
Just before he hit the floor,
Well, I'd seen enough,
I needn't see no more,
Out came my .22
And let me tell you,
When he spied this,
his cheery looking face,
Was quickly to be replaced
By a crimson red visage,
More in tune with his decoupage,
Now I had a problem,
300 pounds of roly poly jollies,
Lay beneath my hollies
His bulk had smothered my
mantel fire,
That was not to my desire
I was about to dissect him,
And feed him to his raindeer,
When suddenly a siren,
I began to hear....
The cops were soon all over me,
Like wet toilet paper
on a Halloween tree,
There was no means of escape,
At least none that I could see,
Well therefore, in jail I sat,
Booked for something that,
Made me the villian,
to all the children,
When all I was trying to do,
was "chillin"!
Now I stand before the Judge,
I see my problems multiply,
Because the Judge was an ex-elf,
And he'd make sure that I do fry.
