The Dan Band - Christmakwanzakah

This happens every time of year
I don't know what to do
When I'm feelin' all cheery
And I wanna give a greeting
'Cause I'm in the holiday mood

And I go scrambling in my brain
Tryin' to guess what they celebrate
Then I give it all up and I cover my bases
And this is what I say, well, I say

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Like the other day
I was shovelin' snow
And I saw my neighbor Akmed
He was stringin' Buddha beads
On his Christmas tree
With a Yamakah on his head

He said, "Why don't you come by later
For the festival of lights
Be here at 8, that's when we meditate"
I said, "Hell, why not alright", and I say

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Don't say I'm waterin' religion down
I'm just including people all around
Isn't that what the whole deals about
Don't wanna leave nobody out

I don't care what you believe
On Hanukkah or Christmas Eve
Ramadan and Kwanzaa too
I'm just trying to be nice to you

It's all colliding what's a guy to do
Don't wanna go and offend anybody
Are they Christian, Muslim
Buddhist or Jew

You can't tell by looking
And it don't feel right to guess
Buyakasha, frickin' 'Kumbaya'
It's all the same God bless and I say

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah

Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
Happy Christmakwanzakah
Merry Krishna, merry Krishna
