Ballad of the Krampus (inspired by snugglebuck's comp entry)
With Halloween out of the way
You thought you could relax
But here's a Christmas story that
Will stop you in your tracks
The fat man has an evil twin
Some dare not speak his name
Instead of bringing Christmas cheer
He likes to kill and maim
He wears a chain adorned with bells
To symbolize his ties with hell
He puts bad children in a sack
And carries them across his back
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You shouldn't be a spoiled brat
If you want to survive
With giant horns and cloven hooves
He's really quite a sight
You don't want him to visit you
On any silent night
He puts bad children in his sack
And carries them across his back
Rattles his chains and rings his bell
To warn you that you're going to hell
You should avoid him at all costs
The Krampus is his name
And punishment for evil deeds
Is his dark claim to fame
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You should be good 'til Christmas day
If you want to survive
You thought you could relax
But here's a Christmas story that
Will stop you in your tracks
The fat man has an evil twin
Some dare not speak his name
Instead of bringing Christmas cheer
He likes to kill and maim
He wears a chain adorned with bells
To symbolize his ties with hell
He puts bad children in a sack
And carries them across his back
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You shouldn't be a spoiled brat
If you want to survive
With giant horns and cloven hooves
He's really quite a sight
You don't want him to visit you
On any silent night
He puts bad children in his sack
And carries them across his back
Rattles his chains and rings his bell
To warn you that you're going to hell
You should avoid him at all costs
The Krampus is his name
And punishment for evil deeds
Is his dark claim to fame
Most kids he drowns, and some he eats
A few he skins alive
You should be good 'til Christmas day
If you want to survive
