A retelling of our 10th Arbor Christmas Show. The story involved a giant snowflake headed toward Earth that could ruin Christmas for all. Fortunately, the Arbor gang stepped up and saved the day.
lyrics
Once upon a time
On a cold December night
Way up in the sky
An incredible sight
Could Christmas be ruined
By too much snow
Unless we do something
There could be no tomorrow
We have a plan
We have a plan
The President asked us
"What can you do?"
Nobody worry we always come through
We have a plan
We have a plan
La, la, la la la, la, la, la
La, la, la la la, la, la, la
Don't look so surprised to see us up in here
You know we saving Christmas day like every single year
Don't need no mistletoe to get up on the chicks
I got more Christmas cheer than a chimney's got bricks
Brian, Mike, Vince, Kessler, yeah they all here
The script was written yesterday, what's happening this year?
Black Prez says disaster's gonna happen
You know the world can only turn to one team, captain
The haters said "They so retired, they're past it."
The snowflake's on its way and you know we gonna blast it
No other dudes can save the Christmas season
We're making Star Wars references for no apparent reason
So on December Two-Five if you've got gifts beneath the tree
Just know that those presents are there because of me
Yeah, uh, and it don't pause
Because it's 1-8-7 if try to stop the Claus
I am the evil snowflake
Come from coldest, darkest space
I hate the Earth and all mankind
I'm bad for badness sake
My father was the last to melt
In the trenches of Frosty's head
My mother was anonymous slush
After weeks in some snowy bed
The rest of my loved ones melted away
On the tongues of those sweaty ninety-eight degrees
I'll bet your brother looks tasty
When I freeze him and there's nothing better left to eat
You'll beg to get warm somehow
Can't sleep in your tauntaun now
You think you're dealing with mentholyptus
This ain't no snowfake, here I come
We did it
We did it again
Christmas is saved
All thanks to our plan
The snowflake's been blown away
Back in time for Christmas day
We did it
We did it
We did it
We did it
This is the part
Where our story ends
There's one thing left to say
To you, my friends
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you
