| Original Song Title: | "Away in a Manger" |
| Original Performer: | Christmas Carol |
| Parody Song Title: | "Away From That Manger" |
| Parody Written by: | Arnequis |
To be sung when the family pet decides that the expensive Nativity set in the living room is something to play with.
Away from that manger, you bad pussy cat!
You've spilled the Lord Jesus and knocked Mary flat;
You've scattered the shepherds and likewise the sheep
Away from that manger -- those things don't come cheap!
Away from that manger, you dirty old dog!
If you must chew something, go chew the yule log;
Don't dare lift your leg! now I'm warning you here
Or we won't hang a stocking for Fido this year!
You've spilled the Lord Jesus and knocked Mary flat;
You've scattered the shepherds and likewise the sheep
Away from that manger -- those things don't come cheap!
Away from that manger, you dirty old dog!
If you must chew something, go chew the yule log;
Don't dare lift your leg! now I'm warning you here
Or we won't hang a stocking for Fido this year!
(c) 2004 Mike & Tracy Kazaleh (my husband came up with the title and part of the first verse, and I wrote part of the first and all of the second). Merry Christmas, and may your Nativity scenes be safe from maraudering pets.

this is whimsical, I enjoyed it
Very good indeed. One of those things where you know you shouldn't laugh but do anyway!
I was laughing from the very first line! Great, great, great! Your final line doesn't quite match (try "stockings" instead of "a stocking", or "Or there'll be no stocking"), but who cares? Merry Christmas! 5-5-5.
Zounds and foresooth! Methinks 'tis naught but an accursed DEVIL DOG and INFERNAL PUSSYCAT ... Pray thee takest my humble vote of 5-5-5 to cast off those sinister beasts.
clever concept and funny imagery....imagine how scary a towering cat would look to the baby jesus...5s
My husband, who is a cartoonist, illustrated the first verse for our homemade Christmas card last year; he drew a very unrepentant-looking black kitty (our own cat Kato) standing amidst the scattered Nativity figures. Yes, it was drawn from real life, happens every year, and will no doubt happen again. Kato! Away from that manger!
That's funny!! 555
Pretty funny, but you forgot the last verse.
You're right, Shiek -- and here it is:
Be good, pup and kitten, on this Christmas night;
(Although we still love you when you don't act right)
The Holiday Season's no time to be mean,
So please do not wreck our Nativity scene!
