Andrea Dietrich Poet Lyric

A Scrumptious Boistrous Christmas

(Sing to the tune of "Holly Jolly Christmas)

Have a scrumptious boistrous Christmas.
Party hearty. Ho Ho Ho!
Move your hips, then wet your lips
and find some mistletoe!
Have a scrumptious boistrous Christmas.
Let the rum and egg nog flow.
Get rambunctious. Have a scrumptious boistrous
Christmas. Ho! Ho!

Wild nights and snowball fights
and feasting all month long.
Pass me more cookies, please. Don’t care if it is wrong!

Have a scrumptious boistrous Christmas.
Party hearty. Ho Ho Ho!
Get rambunctious. Have a scrumptious boistrous
Christmas. Ho! Ho!

Lindsay Laurie December 22, 2021 at 4:33 PM Hello Andrea ... light-hearted and full of Christmas Joy. A great carol for this time of the year - thank you Andrea - Lindsay

John Watt December 22, 2021 at 2:35 PM As always your lyrical re-writes are spot on and so much fun. If I remember rightly, wasn't your very first Soup post a Christmas song re-write? You really get into the spirit of this song, and the fun words 'rambunctious', 'scrumptious' and 'boisterous' work perfectly together. I can just imagine Burl Ives singing your words! Merry Christmas, dear friend.
