Elvis: There are cynics, there are skeptics |
| [00:08.80] |
There are legions of dispassionate dyspeptics |
| [00:12.09] |
Who regard this time of year as a maudlin insincere |
| [00:15.81] |
Cheezy crass commercial travesty of all that we hold dear |
| [00:20.33] |
Stephen: When they think that |
| [00:22.75] |
Well, I can hear it |
| [00:24.72] |
But I pity them their lack of Christmas spirit |
| [00:28.54] |
For in a world like ours, take it from Stephen |
| [00:32.31] |
There are much worse things to believe in. |
| [00:36.96] |
Elvis: A redeemer and a savior, an obese man giving toys for good behavior |
| [00:44.67] |
Stephen: The faith in what might be and the hope that we might see |
| [00:48.66] |
The answer to all sorrow in a box beneath the tree |
| [00:53.10] |
Find them foolish |
| [00:55.02] |
Elvis: Sentimental |
| [00:57.13] |
Stephen: Well you're clearly none too bright |
| [00:58.93] |
Both: so we'll be gentle |
| [01:01.45] |
Stephen: Don't even try to start vaguely conceiving |
| [01:05.34] |
Both: Of all much worse things to believe in |
| [01:09.92] |
Stephen: Believe in the judgment, believe in Jihad |
| [01:13.19] |
Believe in a thousand variations on a dark and spiteful god |
| [01:17.47] |
Elvis: You've got your money, you've got your power |
| [01:21.14] |
You've got your science, and all the planets going to end within the hour |
| [01:25.27] |
Stephen: You've got your dreams that don't come true |
| [01:27.73] |
Elvis: You've got the ones that do |
| [01:30.81] |
Stephen: Then you've got your nothing |
| [01:32.67] |
Both: Some folks believe in nothing |
| [01:35.49] |
But if you believe in nothing |
| [01:38.80] |
Then what's to keep the nothing from coming for you |
| [01:45.20] |
Stephen: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year |
| [01:49.66] |
Now if you'll forgive me there's a lot to do here |
| [01:53.49] |
There are stockings still unhung |
| [01:55.36] |
Colored lights I haven't strung |
| [01:57.53] |
Elvis: And a one-man four-part Christmas carol waiting to be sung |
| [02:03.24] |
Stephen: Call me silly, call me sappy |
| [02:06.65] |
Call me many things, the first of which is happy |
| [02:11.30] |
You doubt, but you're sad |
| [02:13.77] |
I don't, but I'm glad |
| [02:18.28] |
Both: I guess we're even |
| [02:21.79] |
Stephen: At least that's what I believe in |
| [02:26.52] |
Both: And there are much worse things |
