Hey Sid!
Yeah.
What, what did you ask for for Christmas?
A new 12 string, er a Samantha Fox colouring book, better elected officials and world peace. What'd you ask for?
Oh I asked for some clod-hoppers, a basket ball, an' a new Dirwin Kirkby album. Did you leave the milk and cookies out? I sure did, I'll bet he'll eat 'em all. Sid, have you been good this year? I've been good, bad, but I'm not evil. Santa's got a brand new bag. I hope Santa's not a skinhead. Merry Christmas everybody. Hope y'all been good.
