Jingle Bells, Socialism Smells
Performed by: Bale Harrison and the Field Hands
Lyrics and Music by Alan Nafzger
Verse 1
Jingle bells, socialism smells,
Taxes all the way!
Workers line for free handouts,
Santa’s on speed dial, hey!
Markets crash and CEOs sigh,
Comrades in a row.
Rudolph leads the redistribution,
But the sleigh is moving slow.
Chorus
Oh, jingle bells, socialism smells,
Public debts on fire!
Yuletide cheer, but the budget’s queer,
And the elves now all conspire!
Verse 2
Red scarves hung on every tree,
Equality for all!
But folks say they’ll not play,
Then wait for Santa’s call.
Frosty’s unionized, he won’t melt,
Candy canes go on strike.
Mrs. Claus demands profit shares,
And the snowmen are alike.
Chorus
Oh, jingle bells, socialism smells,
Public debts on fire!
Yuletide cheer, but the budget’s queer,
And the elves now all conspire!
Bridge
Santa debates with Marx and Lenin,
Over sleigh and coal.
Comrade Reindeer wants full paychecks,
But gifts take a toll!
Verse 3
Gift exchange with equal shares,
Every stocking weighs the same.
But little Timmy wants a PS5,
And Billy asks for fame.
So raise your mugs of cocoa high,
Sing with all your might,
For even when the system fails,
We still get Christmas night!
Final Chorus
Oh, jingle bells, socialism smells,
But we still deck the halls!
Laugh and cheer, for the holiday’s here,
Even when Zoran calls!
