Lyrics

Part one

Singers:

All is not well,

On this noel.

It's looking grim,

For Reverend Tim.

Helen:

This should be his very busy season.

Mel:

No one's coming, tell me what's the reason.

Singers:

What will he do,

Pull up a pew,

As we bid adieu,

Look for Disco Stu.

Part two

Singers:

All ended well,

Except for Sideshow Mel.

This Jewish clown,

He didn't drown.

Reconciled with his daughter,

When he got out of the water.

Here's the good news,

Butts in the pews.

Watch Homer snooze,

As he still chews.

Our show is almost done.

Maggie didn't stop,

At one.

Behind the Laughter

"Carol of the Bells" is a real Christmas carol. The music was composed by Mykola Leontovych and Jeff Westbrook wrote the parody lyrics. Chris Ledesma arranged and orchestrated the song.

A different parody also based on "Carol of the Bells", "Tip's in the Jar", was sung in the episode "Wad Goals".
