There are many songs that are recorded specially for Christmas time. In this CelebrationJoy article, I would like to present 3 of my favorite funny songs, for a lighthearted take on Christmas.
While some Christmas songs are fun, there are many others that are just boring and depressing even. However, if you look around there are many that just plain funny, if taken with a pinch of salt. Given below are 3 such songs, that I think are funny. Enjoy.
A Puppy’s 12 Days of Christmas―by Elise Lewis 1997
On the first day of Christmas my puppy gave to me
The Santa topper from the Christmas tree.
On the second day of Christmas my puppy gave to me
Two leaking bubble lights
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.
On the third day of Christmas my puppy gave to me

Four broken window candles
Three punctured ornaments

Five chewed-up stockings
Four broken window candles
Three punctured ornaments
Two leaking bubble lights
And the Santa topper from the Christmas tree.

And I forgot all about the other eleven days.
I’m Getting’ Nuttin’ for Christmas―S. Tepper, R. Bennett (c) 1955
I broke my bat on Johnny’s head;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid a frog in sister’s bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some ink on Mommy’s rug;
I made Tommy eat a bug;
Bought some gum with a penny slug;
Somebody snitched on me.
Chorus
Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.
So you better be good whatever you do,
‘Cause if you’re bad, I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas!
I put a tack on teacher’s chair,
Somebody snitched on me.
I tied a knot in Susie’s hair,
Somebody snitched on me.
I did a dance on Mommy’s plants,
Climbed a tree and tore my pants,
Filled the sugar bowl with ants,
Somebody snitched on me.
Chorus
So, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.
So you better be good whatever you do,
‘Cause if you’re bad, I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas!
I won’t be seeing Santa Claus;
Somebody snitched on me.
He won’t come visit me because
Somebody snitched on me.
Next year I’ll be going straight;
Next year I’ll be good, just wait
I’d start now, but it’s too late;
Somebody snitched on me.
Chorus
Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.
So you better be good whatever you do,
‘Cause if you’re bad, I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas!
Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer―Dr. Elmo, 1979, Dr. Elmo’s Twisted Christmas
Grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there’s no such thing as Santa,
but as for me and grandpa we believe.
She’d been drinking too much eggnog,
and we begged her not to go.
But she forgot her medication, and she
staggered out the door into the snow.
When we found her Christmas morning,
at the scene of the attack,
she had hoof-prints on her forehead,
and incriminating Claus marks on her back.
Now we’re all so proud of grandpa,
He’s been taking this so well.
See him in there watching football,
drinking root beer and
playing cards with Cousin Mel.
It’s not Christmas without Grandma,
All the family’s dressed in black
and we just can’t help but wonder:
Should we open up her gifts,
or send them back?
Send them back!!
Now the goose is on the table
and the pudding made of fig
and the blue and silver candles
that would just have matched
the hair on grandma’s wig.
I’ve warned all my
friends and neighbors
better watch out for yourselves,
they should never give a license
to a man who drives a sleigh
and plays with elves.
If you have some songs that are funny too, don’t hesitate to share them with us via the comments section below. Let’s all have a Christmas with some laughter! Merry Christmas!
