Have a Holly Jolly Christmas

The 21st-century AmeriKan version (to be sung to Burl Ives' "A Holly Jolly Christmas"):

Have a holly jolly Christmas
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if you've been told
Recovery's coming here

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And down on old Wall Street
Paychecks grow bonuses flow
to everyone with greed

Oh, oh, the CEO and his obscene pay
Rudolph don't you guide that sleigh until you get a raise

Have a holly jolly Christmas
And in case you didn't hear,

Corporate pay and profits will be rising next year!

Merry Christmas everyone!
