Merry Christmas!

Here in New York, the snow's coming down pretty hard. Yet, even on Christmas, in the middle of a snowstorm, we were still able to get chinese food delivered. What a world we live in! In honor of the snow... it's yet another pair of song parodies... I promise more variation once I'm back at school and things are actually happening that can inspire me to have something to write about...

One about the law...
"Just a 'B'" (to the tune of "Let It Snow")

Oh the thought of a "C" is frightful
And an "A" would be delightful
But I'll be okay to see
Just a B, Just a B, Just a B.

The law isn't learned by osmosis
The wave of a wand, "hocus-pocus"
In the classroom I've got only me
Just a B, Just a B, Just a B

When the test paper's there in my hand
And I realize I don't know the law
I suppose then I will understand
That studying's what winter break's for!

Right now there are students reading
And they'll be the ones succeeding
As I write this song par-o-dy
Just a B, Just a B, Just a B

And one not about the law...
"Fill the Malls" (to the tune of "Deck the Halls")

Fill the malls with Christmas shoppers
Fa la la la la, La la la la
Eating donuts, eating Whoppers
Fa la la la la, La la la la
Spending money, all on credit
Fa la la, La la la, La la la
Self-control? Aw just forget it!
Fa la la la la, La la la la

See the people fight for Barbies
Fa la la la la, La la la la
Eating fattening food from Arby's
Fa la la la la, La la la la
One of each, let's keep on churning
Fa la la, La la la, La la la
Back tomorrow for returning
Fa la la la la, La la la la

Now we've got that Christmas feeling
Fa la la la la, La la la la
Boxes stacked up to the ceiling
Fa la la la la, La la la la
Low low prices! Down they're marking!
Fa la la, La la la, La la la
Twenty dollars just for parking
Fa la la la la, La la la la!
