White Jimmy

I’m dreaming of a White Jimmy
Just like the one I used to know
An odd magician
And essay’s written
To hear sleigh bells in the quad
I’m dreaming of a White Jimmy
With every jimmygram I write
May your days be smelly and bright
And may all your snow balls be white
I’m dreaming of a White Jimmy
Just like the one I used to know
An odd magician
And essay’s written
To hear sleigh bells in the quad
I’m dreaming of a White Jimmy
With every jimmygram I write
May your days be smelly and bright
And may all your snow balls be white

Little Magic Boy

Show me your talents they said
I took my handkerchief
I put it in my hand
I made it disappear
Look it’s in my mouth
Look at my card

I saw Jimmy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
He didn't see me creep down the stairs to have a peek
He thought that I was tucked up in my dorm room fast asleep
Then I saw Jimmy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy wh ite
What a laugh it would have been
If Jess had only seen
Jimmy kissing Santa Claus last night?
I saw Jimmy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
He didn't see me creep down stairs to have a peek
He thought that I was tucked up in my dorm room fast asleep
Then I saw Jimmy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white
Oh what a laugh it would have been
If Jess had only seen
Jimmy kissing Santa Claus last night?

Said the first Jim to the second Jim
Do you smell what I smell?
Way up in the caf little Jim
Do you smell what I smell?
A smell, a smell, a kinda smelly smell
A smelly smell that smells smelly
A smelly smell that smells smelly
Said the first Jim to the second Jim
Do you hear what I hear?
Screaming in the lounge little Jim
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song, a kind of angry song
An angry song that makes people stare
An angry song that makes people stare
Said the first Jim to the second Jim
Do you taste what I taste?
At the bottom of your drink, little Jim
Do you taste what I taste?
Some salt, some salt, some very salty salt
A salty drink that tastes salty
A salty drink that tastes salty
Said the first Jim to the second Jim
Do you smell what I smell?
Way up in the caf little Jim
Do you smell what I smell?
A smell, a smell, a kinda smelly smell
A smelly smell that smells smelly
A smelly smell that smells smelly

Deck the halls with songs of Jimmy
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Tis the season to salt Jimmy
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Don we now our band apparel
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Strike guitars and sing a carol
Fa la la la la, la la la la
See the blazing toast before us
Fa la la, la la la, la la la
Troll the ancient Jimmys demos
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Come into the dormitory
Fa la la la la, la la la la
While I sing of Jimmys glory
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Fast away the semester passes
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Hear the album, lads and lasses
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Sing along now, all together
Fa la la la la, la la la la
Once it comes out in December
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.
A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"
