Pre-Christmas MANIA

I really should be locked up until Christmas is over and done with. But since being committed would mean no more truffles or holiday moonshine, I am instead going to post a little song from the Futurama series' Xmas episode. This little depiction of Santa's workshop helped me get out of the nasty spirit this season. Enjoy, before I get a cease and desist order from Fox. I've tacked on the lyrics for your convenience. I strongly suggest you click on the link for some oddball listening pleasure.

Elves:
We are free and fairly sober with so many toys to build.
The machines are kind of tricky. Probably someone will be killed.
But we'll gladly work for nothing.
Fry:
Which is good because we don't intend to pay.
Elves:
The elves are back to work today. Hooray!
Elves:
We have just a couple hours to make several billion gifts.
And the labor isn't easy.
Leela:
And you'll all work triple shifts!
You can make the job go quicker if you turn up the controls to super speed.
Elves:
It's back to work on Xmas Eve! Hooray!
Leela:
And though you're cold and sore and ugly,
Your pride will mask the pain.
Fry:
Let my happy smile warm your heart.
Elf:
There's a toy lodged in my brain!
Elves:
We are getting very tired and we can't work any faster
And we're very, very sorry.
Bender:
Why, you selfish little bastards!
Do you want the kids to think that Santa's just a crummy empty-handed jerk? Then shut your yaps and back to work!
Elves:
Now it's very nearly Xmas and we've done the best we could.
Fry:
These toy soldiers are poorly painted.
Leela:
And they're made from inferior wood!
Bender:
I should give you all a beating but I've really gotta fly.
Robot Santa:
If I weren't stuck here frozen, I'd harpoon you in the eye.
Elves:
Now it's back into our tenements to drown ourselves in rye.
Leela:
You did the best you could, I guess, it's not that these gorillas are okay.
Elves:
They're adequate! Hooray!
The elves have rescued Xmas Day! Hooray!

So, Merry Freakin' Xmas, everyone! I think I see three ghosts approaching!
