Do any of you ever go Christmas caroling? If so, here’s an idea. Christmas Caroling for Bernie. I wouldn’t go house-to-house, but rather in a high traffic area next week — especially Friday night. You could carol for Bernie and remind folks of the debate scheduled for the following evening. And what songs would you sing? Why the ones from the Bard for Bernie Facebook Page.

Winter Wonderland
Oligarchs, are you listening?
Yeah, your coins sure are glistening…
A sickening sight, prepare for a fight…
We've had it with your piggish Plunderland.
All your games are illegal
We’re returning Glass-Steagal
We’re Feeling the Bern, get ready to learn
We've had it with your piggish Plunderland.
We know how you’d love to build a straw-man,
And pretend it’s not in your control,
Shame we gotta overturn that law, man,
Bernie surges more in every poll.
You’ll no longer conspire,
No more shills to acquire,
We’re calling your bluff, enough is enough,
We've had it with your piggish Plunderland.

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like Vic’try
Everywhere you turn…
Massive turnouts in every state
Yooger that “Hope ‘08”
Everyone can clearly Feel the Bern…
It’s beginning to look a lot like Vic’try
Leaps in every poll,
And the secret that makes us thrive,
Revolution is alive…
Right with in soul…

Santa Claus is Coming to Town
You better cheer up, you don’t gotta cry,
You don’t gotta pout, I’m telling you why…
Sanders Claus is coming to town.
He’s making a lit of billionaire schmucks,
He’s calling them out on snatching your bucks,
Sanders Clause is coming to town.
He sees them when they’re stealing,
When they’re evading tax,
He knows when they buy candidates
Through shady Super PACs!
So…
You better cheer up, you don’t gotta cry,
You don’t gotta put, I’m telling you why…
Sanders Claus is coming to town.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! Another survey says:
Glory to our honest prez!
Oligarchs, he will detain,
Decency shall finally reign!
Goodbye greed the rich can’t quench,
Join the triumph of the mensch,
Hear ye Goldman, Sachs and Koch:
Bernie’s here to fix what’s broke!
Hark! Another survey says:
Glory to our honest prez!

The Chipmunk Christmas Song
Bernie, Bernie time is near,
Time to be extremely clear:
We don’t need a corporate shill,
Hurry Bernie, say you will!
Want my income to be fair!
Me, I want my Medicare!
We can hardly stand to wait,
Please Bernie, don’t be late!
We can hardly stand to wait,
Please Bernie, don’t be late!

Here come Santa Claus
Here comes Sanders Claus, Here comes Sanders Claus,
So completely on track;
He doesn’t care if you’re rich or you’re poor,
He has always had your back;
Sanders Claus will never let
Our great middle class disappear;
So fill your hearts with brand new hope,
‘Cause Sanders Claus comes next year!
Here comes Sanders Claus, Here comes Sanders Claus,
Smile and don’t lose faith!
He’ll come ‘round before you know it,
Next November 8th!
Healthcare’s yours, and college, too,
No trouble keeping afloat!
It’s no dream, it’s in your reach,
But you gotta make sure to vote!

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow, to the night-time urgent care,
Hardly ever go, but I gave myself a scare;
Good thing I came in; they saved my life, and shucks…
What fun it is to get a bill for seven thousand bucks!
Oh
Single payer, single payer, single all the way,
Please come quick, and help the sick who can't afford to pay!
Single payer, single payer, single all the way,
It’s no joke, we’re going broke, please pass this law today!
Here’s another version on youtube written and performed by an elderly Bernie supporter who lives in Vermont.

I'll Be Home For Christmas
I’ll be broke for Christmas,
Please don’t plan on me…
Trump says I’m sour? Well, 8 bucks an hour
Does not put a lot ‘neath the tree…
Christmas Eve will find me
On an extra shift,
I’ll be broke for Christmas,
Please don’t expect a gift…

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Donald the red-neck reindeer
Had a rather noisy mouth,
He gave offensive speeches
All across the west and south;
Millions of reindeer praised him,
When he called out racist names,
Listing the types of reindeer,
Not allowed in Donald’s games;
Then one cold November 8th,
Bernie came to say:
“Donald with your hateful ways,
Won’t you scoot with no delays?!”
Then all the deer united,
And they cheered the whole night through;
“When we all stand together,
There is nothing we can’t do!”

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
I dream of a DIVERSE Christmas,
Unlike those WHITE ones in your song,
Where we’re all invited,
And stand united,
Where no one’s told they don’t belong…
I dream of a DIVERSE Christmas,
With every Christmas tweet I post,
May compassion spread coast to coast…
And may racist candidates be toast.
(Side note) Remember last year when Megyn Kelly said that Santa Claus is just white?
Let it Snow! Let it Snow!
Oh those bailouts for banks are frightful,
Wall Street Crooks are so indictful,
But since they give Clintons dough,
Let ‘em grow, let ‘em grow let ‘em grow.
It doesn’t show signs of ceasing,
Cuts in taxes keep increasing,
Seems Hillary can’t say no,
Let ‘em grow, let ‘em grow, let ‘em grow.
May we finally understand,
Just what forces are really in charge,
Wall Street shysters are in command,
Thousands of crooks are at large!
We’ve cancelled all regulating,
While our middle class is fading,
Our incomes are oh so low,
But let ‘em grow, let ‘em grow, let ‘em grow.
