 Hark the Periled Reindeer Sing 

[On Risk & Reward]

To "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"

(Traditional)

Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer

Arranged by Greg Hilfman

MARK THE PERIL REINDEER FIGHT
IN THE AIR, ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT
EVERYWHERE WE MOBILIZE
THERE ARE NO MORE FRIENDLY SKIES
TERRORISTS PREP RPG'S
RARE OR WEAPONIZED DISEASE
BLITZEN, DANCER, AND OUR FLEET
FRITZIN' THAT SANTA'S PACKING HEAT
HITS A NERVE OF REINDEER STRESS
WHAT WE MUST SWERVE  
IT'S SUCH A MESS


ARCTIC LIFE WAS OH SO NICE
WARMTH AMID THE SNOW AND ICE
MRS. CLAUS'S CHRISTMAS SCENE HOUSE
IS A RED HOUSE … 
AND A GREENHOUSE 
WHICH MAY MELT ALL THOSE WHO FROZE
AND HAVE YOU FELT RUDOLPH'S NOSE
SO WE GO FROM COLD TO COOLED
AS WE NORTH POLE'D
BECOME NORTH POOL'ED.
GRIM, THE STATE OF REINDEER STRESSED
IMMINENT FATE: 
REMAIN DEPRESSED


DARKLY DEEP WE REINDEER THINK
SO WE KEEP A REINDEER SHRINK
AND MASSEUSE, ON FULL-TIME CALL
PROZAC USE UP OVERALL.
WE COULD QUIT, BUT WHO'D DELIVER?
WHO'D COMMIT TO BE THE GIVER?
YULETIDE DRIVE: OUR SACRED TRUST
BUT TO SURVIVE, WE MUST ADJUST
STARK CONSULTANTS TO ADDRESS
ALL THE TUMULT THAT WE ASSESS
HARK, THE SHOCKS OF REINDEER STRESS
WE ARE IN TALKS WITH UPS
