Twas the night before Christmas and all through our state not a snowflake had fallen, not ever this late
The grass was still green, it should have been dead and thoughts of the golf course danced in my head
El Nino they said was the true reason that we have forgotten about winter season
So Santa sat with reindeer in tow and wondered if ever he'd put on his show
We're hurting our planet little by little, who ever thought with Christmas we'd fiddle
And Santa just waited and thought of his firing, and wondered at his age if anyone's hiring.
It was much too hot for reindeer to play and only seemed to get hotter each day
The weather forecast was surely not pretty, said it would reach 65 in the city
Oh I long for days of blizzards and storms not of a world dialed forever to warm
And for all the children who lay in their beds with thoughts of Santa stuck in their heads
How can we tell them what we had done, that we are the ones who ruined their fun
And if you were waiting for happy endings, with sugarplums dancing and Claus descending.
Then you must believe in fairy tales like, global warming's not due to man's oversight
The truth is we are treating our planet so poorly it needs a complete overhaul shortly
So for all the babies and Santa too, for white blankets that cover our landscape anew
For all of the Christmas dreams to come true, for sleigh bells and stockings and Dancer too
For the sake of our future and those we love most, let's try not to turn this planet to toast
If we heed these words Santa will soon be in sight, with Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
