2004 Happy Merry Lyric Contest Winners Here We Come A-Wassailing | Up on the Housetop | The Twelve Days of Christmas Sung to the tune of Here We Come A-Wassailing Here we come a-spreading germs amongst our families dear Coughing on the crab dip and sneezing in the beer Colds and flu come to you and to all your loved ones too When the relatives gather for a holiday potluck When the relatives gather for potluck. Arriving first and looking worst is poor old Uncle Shep Bearing cocktail weenies all richly laced with strep Pass them 'round, take a bite, you'll be throwing up all night And we call this a party but if we would just confess It is simply a huge contagious mess. Next comes Aunite LuLu with a crockpot full of soup Happily announcing her toddler has the croup (Soprano solo) But his fever broke today So I brought him anyway I will serve now if you will kindly hold my little guy I made plenty, take seconds, don't be shy. Then there's...randy in-law Andy with a nose that has the drips Still he'll lunge to greet you and plant one on your lips Shaking hands Taking keys All those tissues stuffed up sleeves And that wine glass you're sipping from while looking so uptown Is the same one that Andy just put down. The relatives keep swarming in the house is packed and hot You don't know who they are, but you'll soon know what they've got Viruses fill the air It's a germ-o-phobes nightmare But we celebrate because it is the right thing to do And it wouldn't be Christmas without flu! Heather Zenk of St. Paul, MN Sung to the tune of Up on the Housetop All little children drop their jaws At the giant Santa Claus He stands in the driveway 12 feet high Waving at all of the Passersby Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh watch it glow Oh! Oh! Oh! Melting the snow Turn on the light switch Tick, tick, tick Spinning the meter Just for kicks Shepherds surrounding Santa's sleigh Need a map To find their way Through the tin soldiers And candy canes Flashing so brightly They're seen by planes. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh watch it glow Oh! Oh! Oh! Melting the snow Turn on the light switch Tick, tick, tick Spinning the meter Just for kicks Next to the manger A Sponge Bob stands Wishing peace for All the land He's joined by Snoopy And Mickey too Baby Jesus and Scooby Doo. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh watch it glow Oh! Oh! Oh! Melting the snow Turn on the light switch Tick, tick, tick Spinning the meter Just for kicks Lynn Joachim of Scandia, MN Sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas "The Twelve Days of Winter Break" On the twelfth day of winter break, here's what the teachers do: Go up the climbing wall, Play fingerpainting, Nap in the health room, Jump all the jump ropes, Sing on the intercom, Swing on the monkey bars, Go on the cargo net, *Slide down the slides* Play on computers, Climb on the desks, Dribble basketballs, And eat cake in the cafeteria!
