Christmas CAROLs sing-along:

All I want for Christmas is my ice-cold Gatorade, My own grenade, My Sprouts re-made! All I want for Christmas is a way to reverse it, Then I could wish you "Fine. Good Riddance. F- You!."

Oh the weather outside is frightful But the hive is so delightful Since there's nothing we don't know Let it go, let it go, let it go – CAROL!

We aren't showing signs of stopping Our numbers are only slightly dropping Unless you want to be solo Let it go, let it go, let it go – CAROL!

Will you stop being so uptight? This is now what we call the norm Why don't you give up the fight And we can help you transform

It will stop you from all this crying And you'll lose your fear of dying We swear it's not a death blow Let it go, let it go, let it goooooo – CAROL!

Here comes Manousos, here comes Manousos, right up the Darien Gap They'll offer him water and a ride, yet he ain't taking their crap He'll face peril, to reach Carol, all is scary and blight He got real sick, on a Chunga Palm stick, and Manousos went night-night

I'm dreaming of some hot ladies And my picture on each wall Where the party's hopping and The chicks are sopping And everyone is at my beck and call

I'm dreaming of some hot ladies And a royal straight flush Where no one's minding My hot tub grinding With the whole cleaning staff

I'm dreaming of some hot ladies And a ride on air force one It's the mile high club With 8 billion in one They all say I'm super fun

May your days be merry and bright And may little Koumma stay upright
