about

Words and music by D W Solomons a parody of (and antidote to) that ubiquitous Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer song

lyrics

Well there's mince pies and sherry and pudding and whisky
candies and chocolates and to make us all frisky
but do you know the most famous sweet of all?

Rupert the chocolate angel
Waited by the fire one day
'cos he was told that Santa
would be coming on his sleigh

all of the other chocolates
told him that he was a fool
they were afraid of melting
so they kept in shade and cool

but that night old Santa came along
at we all request
and he gulped the sherry down
doffed his boots and had a rest

then he looked round at Rupert
melted now and quite deceased
gave out a little giggle
and had a little chocolate feast

[verse 2 up a tone]

Well there’s presents and crackers
And turkey and telly
And there’s thousands of kids
Eating ice-cream and jelly

But do you know the most sickly sweet of all?
Rupert the chocolate angel
Waited by the fire one day
'cos he was told that Santa
would be coming on his sleigh

All of the children loved him
told him that he was so great
As they sat by the fire
They could never know his fate

So that night old Santa came along
As we all request
and he gulped the sherry down
doffed his boots and had a rest

then he looked round at Rupert
melted now and quite deceased
gave out a little giggle
and had a little chocolate feast.
