Ray Oddis — Happy Ghoul Tide lyrics

Lyrics

Happy Ghoul Tide!
Twas the night before Christmas
And there sat me and my family waiting for Saint Nick
«What present do you want?» — I asked my small son
With tears in his eyes he said —
«I only want one!»
Jingle bells and Christmas trees
Tell Saint Nicholas if you please
For a present to me send
All I want is just a friend
It’s happy ghoul tide season, I cheerfully said
Why don’t you drink your blood pudding and then hop to bed
You’ll dream of lovely graveyards, here take my hand
And I’ll tuck you in your casket
Don’t you understand?
Jingle bells and Christmas trees
Tell Saint Nicholas if you please
For a present to me send
All I want is just a friend
What is this a friend you want
Don’t cry, you look a fright
A fiend I’ll get you
If you want, I’ll pick him up tonight
Daddy, daddy tell me why
I’m so different
Other children cannot fly
Their looks I don’t resent
You’re not different and you’re not strange
You’re not out of place
Your daddy loves you, as you are
Here, let me pull your face
Here climb into bed and I’ll close the lid
Daddy?
What did you say?
When will Saint Nicholas come?
Tomorrow is Christmas day
Now good night
Jingle bells and Christmas trees
Tell Saint Nicholas if you please
For a present to me send
All I want is just a friend!
It’s not as if I want a bicycle or something
I just want a little biddy body to call my own, yes
Something I can sing my diddy to
