Smash And Grab, A Christmas Carol

Blogger’s note: In the spirit of the holiday season, today we begin a series of current events updates on past Christmas standards, both the songs and a poem or two.

SMASH AND GRAB (To be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells).

How the criminals,

are taking over life.

Buy yourself a gun,

that just might end the strife. Hey! Hey! Hey!

Passing some new laws,

that wouldn’t do the trick.

Unless our legal types,

would make the charges stick, OHHHHHHH.

(CHORUS) Smash and grab, smash and grab,

See the hoods all steal.

Rub your eyes all that you’d like,

The images are real. Hey!

Smash and grab, smash and grab,

Why aren’t they all in jail?

‘Cause if they were, the libs’d be sure,

to release them without fail.

(Second verse) It seems that hope is lost,

when thieves they face no threat.

It makes them oh so bold,

while you cower in your nest.

Too late there now are some,

who see that they have failed.

By choosing not to enforce the laws

and put the thugs in jail. Hey!

(Chorus) Smash and grab, smash and grab,

Sing our little song.

Raise your voices far and wide,

Let the libs know they are wrong. Hey!
