A Zeesn Christmas

Sure I love the songs, the lights and the tree
But is there something more for someone like me?
If you’re feelin’, meh?, not really jolly
No ham for you, you’d prefer a bialy
Don’t let yourself get melancholy, boo
While the Baby Jesus rocks in the cradle
Have yourself a ball, spin the dreidel
Chow Mein and kreplach and Kung Pao kneidle too
Spend Christmas in a Chinese restaurant
It’s what you should do
All the shops are closed, all the churches are open
But look at this menu, quit your mopin’
Dumplins and hoisin, all that you’re hopin’ comes true
When it’s Christmas in a Chinese restaurant for us Jews
Sure we love Italian fare
“Waiter, per favore, pasta al pomodoro”
For dessert, a French eclair, baklava, perhaps a churro
Korean spices and Danish treats
We love the savories and the sweets
But when winter comes around
There’s only one place in this town
So when the season turns and the snow starts fallin’
Powder your nose, put on something enthrallin’
Light the menorah, time to paint the town blue
When it’s Christmas, yeah Christmas,
It's Christmas in a Chinese restaurant
For me and you
A Zeesn Christmas!
