:30:00
Here in an instant
Gone in a flash
:30:02
What does it mean
What does it mean
:30:05
In these little bric-a-brac
A secret's waiting to be cracked
:30:08
These dolls and toys confuse me so
Confound it all, I love it though
:30:13
Simple objects, nothing more
But something's hidden through a door
:30:16
Though I do not have the key
Something's here I cannot see
:30:21
What does it mean
What does it mean
:30:25
What does it mean
:30:28
Hmm. Hmm.
:30:32
I've read these Christmas books
so many times
:30:35
I know the stories
and I know the rhymes
:30:38
I know the Christmas carols
all by heart
:30:41
My skull's so full
it's tearing me apart
:30:44
As often as I've read them
Something's wrong
:30:47
It's so hard to put
my bony finger on
:30:50
Or perhaps it's really not as deep
as I've been led to think
:30:53
Am I trying much too hard
:30:56
Of course
I've been too close to see
:30:58
The answer's right in front of me
Right in front of me
:31:01
It's simple really, very clear
Like music drifting in the air
:31:05
Invisible but everywhere
:31:09
Just because I cannot see it
Doesn't mean I can't believe it
:31:13
You know I think this Christmas thing
is not as tricky as it seems
:31:16
And why should they have all the fun
It should belong to anyone
:31:20
Not anyone in fact, but me
Why I can make a Christmas tree
:31:23
And there's no reason I can find
I couldn't handle Christmastime
:31:27
I bet I could improve it too
And that's exactly what I'll do
:31:35
Eureka!
:31:36
This year,
Christmas will be ours!
:31:45
Patience, everyone. Jack has
a special job for each of you.
:31:52
Dr. Beetlestein.

Your Christmas assignment
is ready.
