"This Christmas Ballyhoo"
The Lyrics
Oy!
Oy!
Down on Oak Street there is brightness
And there a lots of work has been done
I’m telling you, I’m not joshing
And there at night as bright as the sun
Oh no! The crowds will flock down to (this Christmas ballyhoo)
Don’t think it can get brighter
Oh! We got the watts in blue (yes red and yellow too)
And power bills are higher
Too many lights, none are solar
Messing up my satellite feed
Not only that, there is danger
"DON'T GET TOO CLOSE!" signs read
Look out!
You’ll get a shock if you (elect to touch that screw)
Your hair will stand up higher
Oh! I hear a hum now too (electric current juice)
It’s surging through the wires
Oh no! Ohms low! Oh no! Fuse blows!
Oh no! We gonna rename you ("Electric Avenue")
Dark glasses are required
Oh! We gonna rock out to (your Santa Claus revue)
And his all elfin cho-ir
We are so lame in this country
Never can get quite enough
Seeing dis-plays ostentatious
Then say "Let's go green everyone"
Oh no! We gonna mock your views (environment; confused?)
Your lights are not retired?
Oh no! We would be shocked if you (removed a strand or two)
Less energy required!
Oh! Can’t get to sleep
Bright on the street
Lights never shut down
Sparks flying 'round
Oh! It's nine o'clock now view ("Electric Avenue")
And welding shades required
Oh! Just what is that? It's new (a Christmas Kangaroo?)
It flies around on wires
All down the street
Neighbors compete
This is their playground
Bring the power grid down
Oh! Look at the date, it's true (it's April twenty-two!)
Aaand still we see your wires
Hey you gonna take down soon? (or gonna wait till June?)
Oh yeah
You drive away home buyers
Nights look like the daytime (Electric Avenue)
Shocking it ain't right
Burning up the wires (electric gone askew)
Gotta move out of this town to the country...
[fade out]
