Joel The Lump Of Coal - The Killers

[00:00.66]Joel The Lump Of Coal - The Killers
[00:05.67]Some time ago, at Santa's place
[00:08.78]Up in the old North Pole
[00:11.74]There lived a lump of anthracite
[00:14.63]Whose parents called him Joel
[00:17.85]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[00:20.96]Happy as a lump can be
[00:23.67]He just wants to keep Santa warm
[00:26.7]And make the elves cozy
[00:29.64]But Santa Claus had other plans
[00:32.82]For Joel one fateful day
[00:35.55]"Joel, you're just the lump I need
[00:38.63]Come join me on my sleigh”
[00:42.0]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[00:44.8]Heart leapt up with joy
[00:47.66]"I'll soon be Santa's present to
[00:50.55]A lucky girl or boy
[00:53.71]We'll laugh and play together
[00:56.63]And hold each other tight
[00:59.74]Snuggle under clean white sheets
[01:02.78]When we go to sleep at night”
[01:05.66]Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel
[01:08.69]"You're in for a surprise
[01:11.88]You're not a special Christmas gift
[01:14.78]You're just a booby prize
[01:17.75]What kid would ever want you?
[01:20.729996]You're filthy as can be
[01:24.01]Now you have to go and live
[01:26.69]With one who's been naughty”
[01:30.020004]"But I make heat, ” poor Joel cried
[01:33.020004]"And electricity”
[01:35.880005]"You pollute the air
[01:38.16]With CO2 and mercury”
[01:42.91]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[01:45.68]Fell down upon his knees
[01:48.72]"I don't wanna live with a naughty kid
[01:51.490005]Don't make me, Santa, please”
[01:54.71]But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
[01:57.54]"Ho, ho, you stupid lump
[02:00.04]You're just the thing to teach this brat
[02:03.66]That Santa ain't no chump”
[02:06.61]So off they knew and, before he knew
[02:09.81]Joel was in a sack
[02:12.72]He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
[02:15.54]"Why don't we just go back?”
[02:18.53]And then came Christmas morning
[02:21.17]And, much to Joel's surprise(Much to Joel's surprise)
[02:25.0]He saw a boy with the saddest face
[02:27.8]And tears were in his eyes(Tears were in his eyes)
[02:30.68]He picked Joel up and held him
[02:33.59]And said "You can be my friend(Hey man, let's be friends)
[02:36.95999]I would've liked some presents but
[02:39.75]You're what Santa chose to send(Santa chose to send)
[02:42.8]It's true, I've been a naughty boy
[02:45.75]And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)
[02:49.01]If this is how Santa treats the kids
[02:51.68]I'm just glad that I'm not him”
[02:54.95999]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[02:57.92]Knew what he must do
[03:00.44]He said "Now I know the reason why
[03:03.53]I got sent to you
[03:06.91]Cause when a person hurts inside
[03:09.75]It turns him hard and cruel
[03:12.75]But I know how to make your pain
[03:15.66]Into a precious jewel
[03:18.54001]So take me in your hand, young man
[03:21.76]And squeeze with all your might
[03:24.63]Let's turn your pain and anger
[03:27.35]Into something that shines bright”
[03:30.68]Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[03:33.78]He gave his life away
[03:36.66]So that one good naughty little boy
[03:39.51]Found a diamond on Christmas day
