Joel The Lump Of Coal |
| Some time ago, at Santa’s place |
| Up in the old North Pole |
| There lived a lump of anthracite |
| Whose parents called him Joel |
| Joel, Joel, the lump of coal |
| Happy as a lump can be He just wants to keep Santa warm |
| And make the elves cozy |
| But Santa Claus had other plans |
| For Joel one fateful day |
| «Joel, you’re just the lump I need |
| Come join me on my sleigh» |
| Joel, Joel, the lump of coal |
| Heart leapt up with joy |
| «I'll soon be Santa’s present to A lucky girl or boy |
| We’ll laugh and play together |
| And hold each other tight |
| Snuggle under clean white sheets |
| When we go to sleep at night" |
| Then Santa’s elves all laughed at Joel |
| «You're in for a surprise |
| You’re not a special Christmas gift |
| You’re just a booby prize |
| What kid would ever want you? |
| You’re filthy as can be Now you have to go and live |
| With one who’s been naughty" |
| «But I make heat,"poor Joel cried |
| «And electricity» |
| «You pollute the air |
| With CO2 and mercury» |
| Joel, Joel, the lump of coal |
| Fell down upon his knees |
| «I don’t wanna live with a naughty kid |
| Don’t make me, Santa, please» |
| But Santa laughed his jolly laugh |
| «Ho, ho, you stupid lump |
| You’re just the thing to teach this brat |
| That Santa ain’t no chump» |
| So off they knew and, before he knew |
| Joel was in a sack |
| He cried and yelled to Santa Claus |
| «Why don’t we just go back?» |
| And then came Christmas morning |
| And, much to Joel’s surprise (Much to Joel’s surprise) |
| He saw a boy with the saddest face |
| And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes) |
| He picked Joel up and held him |
| And said «You can be my friend (Hey man, let’s be friends) |
| I would’ve liked some presents but |
| You’re what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send) |
| It’s true, I’ve been a naughty boy |
| And maybe that’s a sin (Maybe that’s a sin) |
| If this is how Santa treats the kids |
| I’m just glad that I’m not him" |
| Joel, Joel, the lump of coal |
| Knew what he must do He said «Now I know the reason why |
| I got sent to you |
| Cause when a person hurts inside |
| It turns him hard and cruel |
| But I know how to make your pain |
| Into a precious jewel |
| So take me in your hand, young man |
| And squeeze with all your might |
| Let’s turn your pain and anger |
| Into something that shines bright" |
| Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal |
| He gave his life away |
| So that one good naughty little boy |
| Had a diamond on Christmas day |
