Redneck Christmas
Twas the Night before Christmas,
and all through the shack
Not a creature was stirrin',
‘cept the lice on muh back.
The Skoal cans wuz nailed
to the screen door with care,
With hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there.
The children were sleepin',
all snug in their beds,
While visions of tractor pulls
danced in their heads.
And Ma in her nightgown
all stained with pound cake.
Had just settled down
to watch Ricki Lake.
When out in the driveway,
a loud noise I heard,
I opened the winder
to check muh T-bird.
I ran to the door,
like I's on a mission,
But I tripped on some parts
from muh granny's transmission.
The moon shone outside
the hound dog wuz barkin'.
Muh daughter weren't? home yet,
she wuz still out parkin'.
When what to muh whiskey blind eyes should I see
But a Chevy S-10, pulled by eight flyin' sheep.
With a fat nasty driver, so disgustin' and sick
I said, "Shoot Fire! That must be St. Nick!
More rapid than X-lax
his wooly sheep came
And he belched and he hollered,
and he called 'em by name.
Now CLIFFORD! Now VERNON!
Now LESTER and ENUS!
On FESTUS! On ELMER!
On ROSCOE and CLETUS!
From the top of the shack
to them there garbage bins
Now Dash Away! Dash Away!
Dash Away youins!
I heard a loud sound
on the roof of muh shack.
Pud down muh beer
and went fer muh gun rack.
He fell through the roof,
plumb killed my dog,
I swear that ole' Santa
looked just like Boss Hog.
He wore a T-shirt,
Rebel flag on the front,
And his jeans were all bloody
from that morning's hunt.
A big nekkid lady
tattooed on his arm,
And he wore black boots
that he'd picked up in 'Nam.
His eyes, how they glazed
from too much Wild Turkey.
From the side of his mouth
hung a stick of beef jerky.
A scar on his cheek
from a fight with the cops.
The veins on his face
looked ready to pop.
The butt of a Marlboro
clung to his lip
He wore a hip pack
full of B-B-Q chips.
He had a fat face
and a hairy beer belly.
I ain't seen one that big
since muh ex-wife Shelly.
He was gap-toothed and dumb
with an I.Q. of three
And I laughed cause that redneck
was smarter than me.
A wink of his eye,
a fierce shake of his head,
From his hair came a rat
that ran under the bed.
He reached in his sack,
sipped his gin and tonic,
Then filled the kid's stockings
with Hooked on Phonics.
His toys came from Big Lots
and they weren't very nice
But he had lots of them
and yuh can't beat the price.
He gave us a tape of them hound dogs that sing Jingle Bells.
Some Crisco, some Spam, some Oatmeal Cream pies,
And a Nascar T-shirt in Double X size.
When the presents were gone
and he had no more,
He staggered and stumbled
right through muh screen door.
He hopped in his truck,
to his sheep gave an order
"Hurry up youins!
To the Tennessee border!"
And I heard him cry out,
with a strong southern drawl,
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU REDNECKS!
MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL... YEE HAWWWW!
