Dear God
I hardly ever bother you
Dear God
I don’t ask for much
Dear God
Your world is truly beautiful
But one thing’s missing
RIGHT HERE
Beneath the twinkling lights
RIGHT NOW
There’s not a snowflake in sight
RIGHT AWAY
You can set this picture right
And START THE NIGHT GLIST’NING
I’m just saying
WE’RE JUST SAYING
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow around here
If it isn’t
TOO MUCH TROUBLE
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow right here
LET’S GO!
DEAR GOD
You must love New Hampshire
DEAR GOD
What’s so great about New Hampshire
THEY GOT
A foot of snow in New Hampshire
And WE GOT BUPKUS
RIGHT HERE
I wanna make a snowman
RIGHT NOW
Don’t move so slow man
RIGHT AWAY
I want to cancel school and
SLEEP THROUGH BREAKFAST
I’m just saying
WE’RE JUST SAYING
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow around here
If it isn’t
TOO MUCH TROUBLE
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow
A LITTLE SNOW
I’m just saying
WE’RE JUST SAYING
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow around here
If it isn’t
TOO MUCH TROUBLE
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow right here
I want snow so deep that I can put my sled on
SLED ON
I want the weatherman to call it snowmageddon
SNOWMAGEDDON
I wanna jump and meet that fluffy powder head on
HEAD ON
I wanna see SO MUCH ACCUMULATING
I AM NOT EXAGGERATING
DEAR GOD
I hardly ever bother you
DEAR GOD
I don’t ask for much
DEAR GOD
Your world is truly beautiful
But ONE THING’S MISSING
RIGHT HERE
Beneath the twinkling lights
RIGHT NOW
There’s not a snowflake in sight
RIGHT AWAY
You can set picture this right
And START THE NIGHT GLIST’NING
I’m just saying
WE’RE JUST SAYING
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow around here
If it isn’t
TOO MUCH TROUBLE
WE COULD USE A LITTLE SNOW
A little snow

(music and lyrics by Amy Guskin & Paul Nordquist)
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
There's a thump, thump, thump on the big front door
Should we let them in?
Well, I'm just not sure
Their carols are filled with blood and gore
Undead at the window
Undead on the stairs
You can't
fight 'em one to one
Because they always come in pairs
Merry Christmas
Brains, brains, brains!
Merry Christmas
Brains, brains!
Merry Christmas
Brains
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
Zombies!
Here come the Christmas zombies
Offer them cider, they say whoa.
Offer them eggnog,
I don't think so.
Even figgy pudding,
they still won't go!
Undead karaoke
Gets all the applause
Zombie under
mistletoe
Kissing Santa Claus!
Merry Christmas
Brains, brains, brains!
Merry Christmas
Brains, brains!
Merry Christmas
Brains

Download "Best Christmas Ever"
(music and lyrics by Paul Nordquist)
I'm so tired of Christmas getting ruined all the time!
I'm fed up with all the Yuletide disasters!
Like the year the band of robot Santas started shooting everyone
And the aliens took toy guns and turned them into blasters
This Christmas we're breaking the streak
This Christmas is gonna be better
We've got a plan and we're working it out
And when we look back we'll say there's no doubt
This is the Best Christmas Ever!
I hate the fact that Christmas has become synonymous with mayhem
And catastrophic worldwide trauma
Like those demon spinning Christmas trees that gobbled up small children
Or the giant killer space bees on Futurama
This Christmas we're breaking the streak
This Christmas is gonna be better
No more Grinches!
No Humbugs!
No Scrooges!
Of all the great Christmases this one is hugest!
This is the Best Christmas Ever!
