^FI'm a man of ^Greason, and they ^Csay "'Tis^Am the season t^Dmo be jolly" But it's ^Gfolly when you ^Cvolley for ^C7position ^FNever in ex^Gistence has there ^Cbeen such a res^Amistance To i^Dmdeas meant to ^Gfree us If you could ^Csee us, then you'd ^C7listen ^FToiling through the ^Gages, making ^Ctoys on garnished ^Amwages There's no ^Dmunion We're only ^Gthrough when we out ^Cdo the compe^C7tition

^FI ^Gmake ^Ctoys, but I've got ^C7aspirations ^FMake ^Gsome ^Cnoise Use your i^C7magination ^FGirls ^Gand ^Cboys, before you ^C7wish for what you ^Dmwish for There's a ^Glist for who's been ^DmNaughty or ^Cnice, but con^Fsider the ^Gprice to an ^Celf

We're ^Fused to repe^Gtition, so we ^Cdrew up a pe^Amtition We, the ^Dmundersigned, feel ^Gundermined Let's ^Credefine ^C7"employment"

We ^Fknow that we've got ^Gleverage, so we'll ^Chand the fat man a ^Ambeverage And sit ^Dmback while we at^Gtack the utter ^Clack of our en^C7joyment It ^Fmay be tough to ^Gswallow, but our ^Cthreats are far from ^Amhollow He may ^Dmthunder, but if he ^Gblunders, he may ^Cwonder where the ^C7toys went
