CHRISTMAS CAROLS 2007

Ninfa Leonardia

 

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world

They're now all free

The Magdalo fifty-three.

Let every family

Prepare their media noche

Also for prisoners

Who're already seventy

They're now free

All thanks to GMA!

Joy to the world

For Erap, too

Who now is roaming free

Who wouldn't be in his shoes

He's out, but not Jalosjos

In San Juan they sing

In Zamboanga they're crying

Their Romy, their Romy's

Not yet free.*

 

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night, fearful night

In the highways, dangers lurk

Huge trucks rumbling

And spilling cane stalks

Tricycles, trisikads

Bump each other

Look out for drunken drivers,

For holduppers and killers.*

 

WHITE CHRISTMAS

We're dreaming of those gold medals

We thought we'd get them

in Thailand

Where we brought our boxers

And our top players

To keep the championship we'd won

We prayed to get those gold medals

But our dreams just all got shot through

Our teams got stymied right from the start

And the fall to six

Just broke our hearts.*

 

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING

Hey you better watch out

You better not squeal

You better not change

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus's coming out now.

He'll give out bonuses

Not counting pork, too

That's P70 M-plus

You know what to do

Make sure Santa doesn't miss you.

He comes even if it ain't Christmas

Hands out those moneybags, too

He'll give you some if things are fine

And if you always toe the line.

So… (repeat first stanza)*

 

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come all ye faithful

We who love our city

O come ye, O come na

And join Bantay Banwa

Come, let us gather

Put our heads together

Come and share your talent

Come and join our projects

Come and stop complaining

Just do something.*

 

JINGLE BELLS

Rushing through the streets

Letting grooming go

Beating traffic lights

Reporting all the way

Off to Peninsula

Covering a coup

It's no fun for mediaman

And even women, too.

Get out there, get out now!

Generals shout at you

Then you find when they're done

You're nabbed and handcuffed, too!*

 

HARK THE HERALD

Hark, the president is calling

Come down now and stop hiding

Peace on earth and mercy mild

I'll give that to man and child

Therefore all ye rebels come now

Join the peace talks in our camps

We will give you amnesty

P200,000 each is now ready

But if still you won't listen

We will crush you in 2010.*

 

A BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
