Write your own Jingle Bells version.

Recommended Posts

Inspired by a combination of a friend's complaint that his car broke down again & listening to Brian Setzer's Christmas album on the radio. Then I thought, why not write our own Jingle Bells version? It can be inspired or influenced by any event, as long as it sticks to the original melody and contains chorus "Jingle bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way". Have fun with this, loosen up, and flex your creative muscles!

Chevrolet Jingle Bells

Stumbling through the snow,
With my suitcase on my back,
There’s the dealership,
I go on the attack.
Your car’s a pile of junk,
I want a new one now,
Perhaps I would better off
Just buying a snow plow.

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to sit
In a broken-down Chevrolet…
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
I am so mad my car broke down
I should just walk away.

The engine barely starts,
Suspension’s going too,
Perhaps I should invest,
In an all-wheel drive Subaru.
The paint is peeling off,
The tires are wearing out,
As the smoke pours out from under the hood,
All I can do is sit and shout.

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to sit
In a broken-down Chevrolet…
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
I am so mad my car broke down
I should just walk away.

The dealership says wait…
You have a warranty!
Your car should be ok,
Until two-thousand-twenty-three.
I cannot wait that long,
This car will break again,
And if it does I won’t be back,
I’ll simply go insane.

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to sit
In a broken-down Chevrolet…
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
I am so mad my car broke down
I should just walk away.

This story’s at an end,
I have to go back home,
One last look at my car,
And I yell out “Shalom!”
When finally I’ll return,
I hope it won’t be there,
I’ll smile, I’ll laugh, I’ll dance away,
Like a modern-day Fred Astaire.

Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
That pile of junk is finally gone,
It’s such a gorgeous day.
Oh jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
I’ll buy a new car, and this time
I will not be led astray.

What? I can't imagine why I'd own a Chevy, much less what it would have to do with early Christmas carol violations. :S:D

OK, so I went back and actually read a couple lines of the original post, so at least I now get the Chevy connection. And it's STILL too early for Christmas carols! >:(:D

Really? Round here it's been Christmas for months already. Drives me insane.

So, in the spirit of the thread (but bending the rules just a smidgen), here's my contribution:

**************************
Strolling in the glare
Of an August afternoon
Shop-front signs declare
You cannot start too soon

Festive goods appear
In every major store
Just one hundred shopping days
What are you waiting for?

Jingle bells,
Jingle bells,
Jingle all the year.
Oh what fun it is to spend
For a date that's nowhere near.
Jingle bells,
Jingle bells,
Making such a din.
We have to clear the shelves before
The springtime stock comes in.

i made one up back in my 'commodity relocation engineering' days.

dashing through the snow,
with 400 cummins power.
what once took 20 minutes,
today took me an hour.
i just slid around that last corner.
it gave me quite a fright.
oh what fun it is to be
out trucking in the snow tonight!

oh jingle bells,
some more snow fell,
there's three cars in my way.
but if my retreads grip,
and my truck don't slip
off the road i'll be okay, hey!

jingle bells,
even more snow fell.
now there's 5 cars in my way,
but as long as my cummins
keeps on hummin'
i'll make it home today.
