| [00:01.000] | Some time ago, at Santa's place |
| [00:04.000] | Up in the old North Pole |
| [00:06.000] | There lived a lump of anthracite |
| [00:09.000] | Whose parents called him Joel |
| [00:12.000] | Joel, Joel, the lump of coalJoel |
| [00:15.000] | Happy as a lump can be |
| [00:18.000] | He just wants to keep Santa warm |
| [00:21.000] | And make the elves cozy |
| [00:24.000] | But Santa Claus had other plans |
| [00:27.000] | For Joel one fateful day |
| [00:30.000] | "Joel, you're just the lump I need |
| [00:33.000] | Come join me on my sleigh” |
| [00:36.000] | Joel, Joel, the lump of coalJoel |
| [00:39.000] | Heart leapt up with joy |
| [00:42.000] | "I'll soon be Santa's present to |
| [00:45.000] | A lucky girl or boy |
| [00:48.000] | We'll laugh and play together |
| [00:51.000] | And hold each other tight |
| [00:54.000] | Snuggle under clean white sheets when we go to sleep at night” |
| [01:00.000] | Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel |
| [01:03.000] | "You're in for a surprise |
| [01:06.000] | You're not a special Christmas gift |
| [01:09.000] | You're just a booby prize |
| [01:12.000] | What kid would ever want you? |
| [01:15.000] | You're filthy as can be |
| [01:18.000] | Now you have to go and live |
| [01:21.000] | With one who's been naughty” |
| [01:25.000] | "But I make heat, ” poor Joel cried |
| [01:29.000] | "And electricity” |
| [01:31.000] | "You pollute the air“ |
| [01:33.000] | With CO2 and mercury” |
| [01:37.000] | Joel, Joel, the lump of coal Joel |
| [01:40.000] | Fell down upon his knees |
| [01:43.000] | "I don't wanna live with a naughty kid |
| [01:46.000] | Don't make me, Santa, please” |
| [01:49.000] | But Santa laughed his jolly laugh |
| [01:52.000] | "Ho, ho, you stupid lump |
| [01:55.000] | You're just the thing to teach this brat |
| [01:58.000] | That Santa ain't no chump” |
| [02:01.000] | So off they knew and, before he knew |
| [02:04.000] | Joel was in a sackJoel |
| [02:07.000] | He cried and yelled to Santa Claus |
| [02:10.000] | "Why don't we just go back?” |
| [02:13.000] | And then came Christmas morning |
| [02:16.000] | And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)Joel |
| [02:19.000] | He saw a boy with the saddest face |
| [02:22.000] | And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes) |
| [02:25.000] | He picked Joel up and held him |
| [02:28.000] | And said "You can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends) |
| [02:31.000] | I would've liked some presents but |
| [02:34.000] | You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send) |
| [02:37.000] | It's true, I've been a naughty boy |
| [02:40.000] | And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin) |
| [02:43.000] | If this is how Santa treats the kids |
| [02:46.000] | I'm just glad that I'm not him” |
| [02:49.000] | Joel, Joel, the lump of coal Joel |
| [02:53.000] | Knew what he must do |
| [02:55.000] | He said "Now I know the reason why |
| [02:58.000] | I got sent to you |
| [03:01.000] | Cause when a person hurts inside |
| [03:04.000] | It turns him hard and cruel |
| [03:07.000] | But I know how to make your pain |
| [03:11.000] | Into a precious jewel |
| [03:13.000] | So take me in your hand, young man |
| [03:16.000] | And squeeze with all your might |
| [03:19.000] | Let's turn your pain and anger |
| [03:21.000] | Into something that shines bright” |
| [03:25.000] | Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal Joel |
| [03:28.000] | He gave his life away |
| [03:31.000] | So that one good naughty little boy |
| [03:34.000] | Found a diamond on Christmas day |
