DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
Do you hear what I hear
Coming from the back forty-two?
Do you hear what I hear
A cow, a cow, mooing in the field
And a cow whose milk she won't yield
Let us have steaks and burgers tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
Coming from a house down the street ?
Do you hear what I hear?
A drunk, a drunk, throwing up his beer
And his wife yelling, "Get outta here!"
With a voice that would burst thermal glass
Let us have us a 'stomping' tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
In the Walmart aisle, loud and clear.
Do you hear what I hear?
A child, a brat, screaming in a fit
And a mom who gives in with a snit
Let us have us a 'whooping' tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
In the Walmart store, different aisle?
Do you hear what I hear?
A teen, a teen, sassing at her dad
And him just standing there not getting mad.
Let us have us a 'strangling' tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
"I want all of this and all those!"
Do you hear what I hear?
The kids, the kids, demanding everything
And the parents agreeing to all
Let us have us a 'kicking' tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
So much whining heard everywhere
Do you hear what I hear?
The brats', the drunks, the parents giving in
Give this story a quite different spin
Let us have us a 'skinning' tonight.
Do you hear what I hear?
Silence, blessed silence is here.
Do you hear what I hear?
In the aisle's and streets everywhere
No sounds of brats, we took care of that
Spared the cow-we fried people tonight.
