ANGEL IN THE CHRISTMAS PLAY
Spike Jones - 1949


Poured the goldfish bowl into daddy's hat
Then I painted stripes down the family cat
Broke two teeth only yesterday
I'm the angel in the Christmas play 

In department stores, 'do it just because
Pull the whiskers off of the San-tee Claus
Bite his leg, then I get away
I'm the angel in the Chrismas play 

Daddy laughs, he bends in half
When I wear angel hair 
But wait until he takes a spill 
On halos on the stairs 

Well I gotta go before the mailman stops
And he feels that glue in the letter box 
See you all when its Christmas day
I'm the angel in the Christmas play 

I put on my angel gown 
And oh did momma laugh 
She didn't guess it was her best dress... 
The one I tore in half 

On the roof today, gave 'em all a scare
I put on my wings, tried to fly thru air
Hope that lump's gonna go away
I'm the angel in the Christmas play
I'm the angel in the Christmas play
