The All Purpose Carol

We're Christian and we're Jewish and of African descent
We've always found the holidays
To be a strange event

So on the first day of Chanukah
My true love sang to me
A new all purpose carol
Right for trimming a hybrid tree

Merry Christmas! Happy Chanukah!
Kwanzaa time is here!
It's that fa-la-la deedle-dum
Jumbo jumbo time of year
Gloria! Baruch ha ta
In Excelis Deo
Da-a-ay-o!
Daylight come
And the drummer boy drum
And the angels fly away-o!

Daylight come
And the drummer boy drum
And the angels fly away
Oy-man!
