Scenes From Life: Christmas Carol Lyrics

(The majority of the following scene should be sung to the tune of The Little Drummer Boy, even when that’s impossible because there are way too many syllables in the stanza leading up to the ba/pa rum bum/pum bum/pum bum/pums.)

Sarah: (Singing, because Zack got the song stuck in her head earlier) Come, they told me, ba rum bum bum bum.
Zack: A newborn King to see, PA RUM PUM PUM PUM.
Sarah: OUR FINEST GIFTS WE BRING, BAAA RUM BUM BUM BBBUM.
Zack: My wife sings the song wrong, PA RUM PUM PUM PPPPUM, RUM PUM PUM PUM, RUM PUM PUM PUM.
Sarah: IT DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL, DUDE, BBBAH RUM BUM BUM BUM.
Zack: The song has P’s not B’s, pa rum PUM PUM PUM.
Sarah: It’s but a minor difference, just like PAMPLET, ba rum bum bum bum.
(End singing)
Zack: IT’S PAMPHLET. With a PH in the middle! PAMPHLET!
Sarah: Nobody says pamphlet. It’s pamplet. Ba rum bum bum bum.
