Il Natale è sempre stato molto sentito in tutto il mondo e celebrato attraverso musiche, canzoni ed eventi. Ecco qualche testo che risale addirittura agli anni Cinquanta e a tema festivo:
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.
Oh, I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy are mad.
I’m getting nuttin’ for Christmas
‘Cause I ain’t been nuttin’ but bad.
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.
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.
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.
So you better be good whatever you do
‘Cause if you’re bad, I’m warning you,
You’ll get nuttin’ for Christmas.
I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
JT. Connor (c) 1952
I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night.
She didn’t see me creep
down the stairs to have a peep;
She thought that I was tucked
up in my bedroom fast asleep.
Then, I saw Mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night.
