5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

There's a ship arriving too late 

To save a drowning witch 

She was swimmin' along 

Tryin' to keep a date 

With a Merchant Marine 

Who told her he was really rich 

But it doesn't matter no more... 

She's on the ocean floor 

'N the water's all green down there 

'N it's not very clean down there 

'N water snakes 

'N rusty wrecks 

Is all that she can see 

As the light goes dim 

And she's tryin' to swim 

Will she make it? 

(Boy, we sure hope so...) 

Photos 

Not even a witch oughta be caught 

On the bottom of America's spew-infested 

Waterways, hey-hey... 

She could get radiation all over her 

She could mutate insanely... 

She could mutate insanely... (that's right) 

You know she could go on the freeway and grow up 

to be 15 feet tall and scary-lookin' 

And then... 

Cars could crash all over the place 

As a result of people with Hawaiian shirts on... 

Lookin' up to see her face 

Sardines in her eyebrows... 

Lobsters up 'n down her forehead 

All of them HORRIBLY LARGE FROM RADIATION... 

And smelling very bad 

And DANGEROUS! 

Maybe a submarine could save her, 

And bring her home to the Navy... 

For some kind of ritual sacrifice...
