To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
Oh Christmas Fudge, Oh Christmas Fudge,
Your chocolate goodness delights me!
Oh Christmas Fudge, Oh Christmas Fudge,
You cause my jeans to be a tight squeeze!

When winter comes with all the snow,
Thoughts of diet, seem so long ago!
We dress up just like eskimos,
Then how much fudge we eat, no one knows!

Oh Christmas Fudge, Oh Christmas Fudge,
You are good for breakfast, or dinner!
Oh Christmas Fudge, Oh Christmas Fudge,
I give you to one who is thinner!

To the tune of: "She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"
Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
If it's debt and gloom you're after,
Then you're sure to fill your platter.
Deficits are really mountin' all this year!

Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Can't blame Ventura's bright pink boa,
Or Penny, Pentel or Moe-ah,
Cuz Pawlenty's got to solve it now, I fear!

Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Won't raise taxes by his priciple,
Says education is invincible,
How will he do it? This I gotta hear!

Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Deficits will be a mountin' all this year!
Politics are flowing to the right,
Perhaps two years will help us see the light?
Deficits are really mountin' all this year!

To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
O wine and food, O wine and food
Your effects are so telling
O beer and treats, O beer and treats
my stomach is reflecting

You come at this time of year
and everyone must eat his fill

O Christmas food, O Christmas food
how can I reach for one more thing?

To the tune of: "She'll be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"
We'll be going to a movie At the mall.
We'll be going to a movie At the mall.
We'll be going to a movie,
We'll be going to a movie,
We'll be going to a movie,
At the mall.

To Harry Potter and Two Towers At the mall.
To Harry Potter and Two Towers At the mall.
To Harry Potter and Two Towers,
To Harry Potter and Two Towers,
To Harry Potter and Two Towers,
At the mall.

Oh, it'll be just like last year At the mall.
Oh, it'll be just like last year At the mall.
Oh, it'll be just like last year,
Oh, it'll be just like last year,
Oh, it'll be just like last year,
At the mall.

To the tune of: "O Christmas Tree"
Oh Deficit, Oh Deficit! How deadly are our chances
Oh Deficit, Oh Deficit! How empty are our pantses!
We cannot spend for Christmas Gifts
We can't afford our face uplifts
Oh Deficit, Oh Deficit! You make our belts more tightening!

Oh Deficit, Oh Deficit! Where are our rebate bucks now!
Oh Deficit, Oh Deficit! Jesse was such a cash cow!
He chopped the surplus quite a bit
And then the towers took their hit
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! Who'll wrestle with your lightning?

Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! Pawlenty will not fight thee
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! And all our services will be
Without a doubt, cut to the bone
Cause government won't take a loan
Let parks decay and demos _____
No taxes will afflict the rich!
Oh, Deficit! Oh Deficit! Big government's destroyer!

Oh, Deficit! Oh, Deficit! You've come to Minnesota
Oh, Deficit! Oh, Deficit! Each one will face his quota
Of social costs and local blight
Where are those thousand points of light?
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! We need an Iraq war now!

Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! You vex the wisest of minds!
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! Give Saddam tighter deadlines!
We'll spend a trillion dollars now
To make him beg and kowtow
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! How great for Beltway Bandits.

Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! This is the GOP's great hour
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! We'll show the world our power!
Though people starve and children did
We'll spend more bucks on SDI
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! We need far more stealth airplanes!

Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! ]From the poor we must steal!
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! To give the rich a fair deal!
They paid to bring us to the top
And Corporate Welfare is their sop
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! So do the rich get richer!

Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! We'll build more government branches!
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! Fly fatcats to the ranches
Of Bush and Cheyney, what a pair!
The smell of oil is in the air!
Oh Deficit! Oh Deficit! Drive SUV's forever!

Bob Seidel, Minneapolis, MN
