"Aye, that filthy number," replies the priest, who happens to be a reptilian humanoid.
"How is 'Jingle Bells' dirty?"
"You must go beyond the first verse," he advises, formulating his conspiracy theory.
- "Dashing thro’ the snow,
- In a one-horse open sleigh,
- O’er the hills we go,
- Laughing all the way;
- Bells on bob tail ring,
- Making spirits bright,
- Oh what sport to ride and sing
- A sleighing song to night.
- A day or two ago,
- I thought I’d take a ride,
- And soon Miss Fannie Bright
- Was seated by my side,
- The horse was lean and lank;
- Misfortune seemed his lot,
- He got into a drifted bank,
- And we, we got upsot.
- A day or two ago,
- The story I must tell
- I went out on the snow
- And on my back I fell;
- A gent was riding by
- In a one-horse open sleigh,
- He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
- But quickly drove away.
- Now the ground is white
- Go it while you’re young,
- Take the girls to night
- And sing this sleighing song;
- Just get a bob tailed bay
- Two forty as his speed.
- Hitch him to an open sleigh
- And crack, you’ll take the lead.
Amused and confused, Justine responds: "I was just going to say that a competing tune called 'Buckley's Celebrated Sleighing song' wasn't as lucky."
I guess the reptilian humanoid holy man wouldn't like The Beatles, either. "The One Horse Open Sleigh" is by James Piermont, and I just recorded it (I'll share a link soon!)...with some cowbell.
It could have used more cowbell, though.
