"Daily Show reruns dancing in their heads
Maybe next year they'll learn how to hold their booze..."

LOL!

Jane, I never caught it the first time around. I loved it...especially how they changed the Three Wise Men into the Seinfeld cast.

Robert Smigel and the great Darlene Love...what a combo!

Blue-I love Smigel. This has got to be one of his best.

This is one of my favorites. I met Ms. Love outside Hairspray on the night this aired! She also appeared live on the show performing "White Christmas".

Yay indeed, mateo. She's one of my favorite singers.

I've watched it a few times already. "Christmastime for the Jews" is actually pretty catchy!

Found the lyrics online!

On Christmas Eve, The Gentiles gather
Around the Christmas Tree
They stay at home, and party with
Their Goyishe family

They disappear one day each year
And pass the egg nog 'round
But it's all right
Because that's the night
The Jews control the town

Well, this happens every year on Christmas Eve
All the happy Christian people take their leave
Yeah, the streets are deserted and that's big news
It's Christmas Time for the Jews

The holiday party starts about 6pm
Ain't nobody recreating Bethlehem
Yeah the Three Wise Men, that's a big old snooze
It's Christmas Time for the Jews

They can finally see King Kong without waiting in line
They can eat in Chinatown and drink their sweet ass wine
They can crank Barbra Streisand on the streets they cruise
It's Christmas Time for the Jews

They can gang up on the Quakers
Play for the Lakers
They can do what they wanna
Even blow off Madonna
Get a chance to drive a tractor
Win on Fear Factor
See Fiddler On The Roof with actual Jewish actors

Now, they really get the party goin' after dark
Circumcizing grateful squirrels in the city park
Picking fights in the bar knowing they can't lose
It's Christmas Time for the Jews

Now it's nearly 10:30
Yes, it's time for bed
Daily Show reruns dancin' in their heads
Maybe next year they'll learn how to hold their booze
It's Christmas Time for the Jews

Mrs R is Jewish & loves Christmas

We even attended midnight mass this year. The presents she gets do not hurt either.
