'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
The lights were ablazin' to light up the South.
The tungsten was burning as for a century old
but no one will change for so they've been told
by a fat man on radio shouting his creed
that to use these new bulbs is a leftist decree.
A government conspiracy to force them to use
less energy now is a communist ruse.
Only one in four households even ventures the task
to change old habits and make energy last.
So here's one for ya to light up your Parish.
At 50 cents each its a bargain you'll cherish.
And now for three years you'll be thankful and smugg
as you save eighty dollars and round your kids hug.
Their future will brighten with energy delightin'
from the sun and the wind and the sea it won't firghten.
Wasteful Lighting reduction by a factor of four
is so simple and clean we should have done it before.
This is only the beginning of our future of hope
as we lessen our gas use and for security we cope
with less foreign oil by a factor of four
as we switch to electric and drive more and more.
So you see it's so simple and lively and quick
it won't be too long before even St. Nick
drives an EV sleigh all charged up just right
And Rudolph's LED nose lights the way oh so bright.
So good cheer to you and your family and friends
Remember our dreams are for energy without ends.
And I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight
"Happy LIghting to all, and to all a good night!"
