Let’s decorate the Christmas Tree
and put up all the lights
A cracklin’ fire, hang the stockings
make the evening right
For Santa Claus to fall in love
with Mrs. Claus tonight
Let’s put some Christmas music on
and hold each other tight
CHORUS
Yeah, it’s Christmas
and I just got out of jail
Baby, I just can’t thank you enough
for putting’ up my bail
Yeah it’s Christmas
and this year I won’t be blue
gonna watch you hang the mistletoe
and make sweet love to you
SOLO
What…what’s that you say, baby?
“Set my sorry ass down and leave you alone?”
Baby, I don’t understand…I thought YOU bailed me out of jail?
No?… What’s that you say?….
It was because of the high number of Covid infections
and the transmission rates were just too dangerous to keep
petty criminals like me incarcerated? And that the spread of Covid 19
at San Quentin caused the state appellate court to order the release of 1500
inmates?
And that’s how I got out of jail?
Well…
Let’s decorate the Christmas Tree
and put up all the lights
A cracklin’ fire, hang the stockings
make the evening right
For Santa Claus to fall in love
with Mrs. Claus tonight
Let’s put some Christmas music on
and hold each other tight
CHORUS
Yeah, it’s Christmas
and I just got out of jail
I want to thank to State of California
for putting’ up my bail
Yeah it’s Christmas
and this year I won’t be blue
gonna watch you hang the mistletoe
and sit here while you do
Yeah it’s Christmas
