Here's a little something for any Scroogy readers who may be feeling a bit humbuggy after getting crushed in a sea of power-shopping humanity on Black Friday last week (even though we encouraged you to stay home): Willie Nelson and Stephen Colbert have teamed up on a stirring, inspirational, and festive song that's destined to join "White Christmas" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in the pantheon of holiday classics.
The Little Dealer Boy
I have no money in my coffer
No gold or silver do I bring
Nor have I precious jewels to offer
To celebrate the newborn king.
Yet do not spurn my gift completely
Oh ye three wise men, please demur
Behold a plant that smokes more sweetly
Than either Frankincense or Myrrh.
And like the child born in this manger
This herb is mild, yet it is strong
And it brings peace to friend and stranger
Good will to men lies in this bong.
(Chorus)
And now my wonderweed is flaring
Looks like that special star above
Pass it around in endless sharing
And let not mankind bogart love.
And the wise men started toking
And yea, the bud was kind
It was salvation they were smoking
And its forgiveness blew their mind.
(Chorus)
And still that wonderweed is flaring
Looked like that star was once above
Pass it around in endless sharing
And let not mankind bogart love.
And let not mankind bogart love.
