WILL WE GO, DARLING?

GK: Oh its Christmastime again, with general joy and jollity

Sometimes I'd like to skip it and give Christmas a holiday

2: But we'll go, darling, go.

DM: We will go to "The Nutcracker" with your cousin's caughters in it

Although they're playing reindeer and are onstage for one minute

2: We will go, darling, go

GK: And the community theater is doing Dickens' "Christmas Carol"

And the part of Mrs. Fezziwig is played by your aunt Meryl

2: We will go, darling, go.

DM: We will hear your sister's choir do Handel's great Messiah

Though the altos and the tenors need to sing a half step higher.

2: We will go, darling, go.

GK: We'll go to church on Sunday where your uncle Bob is pastor.

I hope that his sermon is half as long as last year.

2: We will go, darling, go.

DM: We will go to your brother's children's violin recital

Though the sound of tiny fiddles makes me slightly suicidal

2: We will go, darling, go.

GK: We'll go to your sister's pageant, "Behold Them In The Skies,"

It tends to run an hour so we dare not close our eyes.

2: Let us go, darling, go.

DM: And don't forget the craft show where we bought that nice collage

Made by your sister Janice that we keep in our garage,

2: Let us go, darling, go.

GK: They are doing Dylan Thomas, "A Child's Christmas In Wales,"

In those dreadful English accents that they ordered through the mail.

2: Let us go, darling, go.

DM: "Amahl and The Night Visitors" --- the thought makes me tired,

But my nephew is in it so attendance is required.

2: Let us go, darling, go.

So we'll go to the performance and be careful what we say

For the parents of performers may be not so far away,

Let us go, darling, go?

CHO.
