I'm Dreaming of a Wet Christmas

Here's a little parody I wrote about Irving Berlins famous Christmas carol "White Chistmas" to fit with our dry Christmases in South Texas. To hear the "White Christmas" music while you read my words here, open a new window and copy and paste this URL  http://www.carols.org.uk/white_christmas.htm to the new window. Minimize that window and read the words here.


I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas

Don’t want to hear no Jive bout snow.

With lightning and thunder, we’ll stand under

Drizzle on the mistletoe.



I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas

Extended summer's all we get

So I’ll sit in my lawn chair and sweat

Wishing all your Christmases are wet.



I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas

Down here in Texas it’s so dry

The Lone Star Nation, needs precipitation

Soon even winter weeds will die.



I’m dreaming of a wet Christmas

A few mud puddles I won’t fret

I hope Santa won’t forget

That I’d like this Christmas to be wet.

Merry Christmas Everybody!
