ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE<\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

Rocking around the Christmas Tree<\/font>
\n at the nursing home tonight.<\/font>
\n Mistletoe hung where none can see<\/font>
\n ’cause they’ve got such poor eyesight.<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Rocking around the Christmas Tree<\/font>
\n as they hear their own ears ring.<\/font>
\n Later they’ll have some pumpkin pie<\/font>
\n and then do some vomiting.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

They will get a sentimental feeling<\/font>
\n when they hear <\/font>
\n nurse announcing:<\/font>
\n “TV special,<\/font>
\n Lawrence Welk Show’s on at eight!”<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Rocking around the Christmas Tree;<\/font>
\n meds are brought out on a tray.<\/font>
\n Consciousness dancing merrily<\/font>
\n in a psy–cho–tro–pic way!<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/font> <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
