The Christmas That Almost Wasn't

There once was a christmas that almost wasn't,almost wasn't, almost wasn't

there once was a christmas that almost wasn't,almost wasn't, almost wasn't

because of a man named prune

now prune was a man who jolly wasn't, sweet wasn't merry wasn't

now prune was a man who just wasn't, a very nice man at all

prune, prune was his name

he was a man who had no shame

prune, prune was his name

if there is no christmas he's to blame

he tried to stop christmas, we wished he wouldn't

we thought he couldn't, he knew he shouldn't

he tried to stop christmas, but santa wouldn't let him have his way

though prune did his worst santa worried wasn't

scared wasn't, conquered wasn't

though prune did his worst, his best wasn't enough to stop christmas day

prune, prune was his name, he was a man who had no shame

prune, prune was his name

prune, prune was his name

if there is no christmas he's to blame

so there once was a christmas that almost wasn't, almost wasn't, almost wasn't

there once was a christmas that almost wasn't, almost wasn't, almost wasn't

because of a man named prune
