Lyrics:
A song for people whose cultural heritage is not clear.
(laughing)
Feel free to sing along
I'm Christian and I'm Jewish and of African descent
I've always found the holidays a very strange event
So on the first day of Hanukkah my true love sang to me
A new all-purpose carol that's for trimming a hybrid kind of tree
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa time is here
It's the fa-la-la, deidle-dum, jambo jambo time of year
Gloria, Baruch Ato, In Excelsis Deo
Day-O
Daylight come, the drummer boy drum, the angels fly away-o
There is no Christmas Hanukkah Kwanzaa storyline persay-o
But take your favorite parts of each and tell it your own way...
Twas on an ancient solstice night 'neath a Kilamanjaro star
That Judas Maccabee hitched a ride with his good friend Balthazar
To a stable mean where Mary and Joseph had run so low on oil
That little baby Jesus had to buy eight days worth from the moil
Here we go - oh...
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa time is here
It's that fa-la-la, deidle-dum, jambo jambo time of year
Gloria, Baruch Ato, In Excelsis Deo
Day-O
Daylight come, the drummer boy drum, the angels fly away-o
It came upon a Ramadan that the gladsome tidings swirled
And told about the miracle to all the waiting world
And to confirm this miracle of epoch-making scale
On the day right after Christmas, every single item went on sale
Last chance - oh...
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa time is here
It's the fa-la-la, deidle-dum, jambo jambo time of year
Gloria, Baruch Ato, In Excelsis Deo
Day-O
Daylight come, the drummer boy drum, the angels fly away-o
