Words and music by Ian Butler
Lyrics
Chintzy plastic ornaments hang from a plastic tree
colored lights and presents from the latest shopping spree
Everything so cheap that it’s practically free
The noisy shiny things that make us all sing out with glee
Chorus:
Christmas made in China
Malaysia and Mexico
Christmas made by China
The W T and O
Santa was getting overworked and his overhead was high
Decided to lay off all the elves and outsource to Shanghai
Replaced them all with prisoners and 14 year old kids
Now his elves are selling themselves in the dwarf tossing biz
Chorus:
Christmas made in China,
No minimum wage
Christmas made in China
No minimum age
(Bridge)
The girls and boys will wake up to their toys on Christmas Day
Innocently ignorant of how those toys were made
On 2 lousy dollars a day
And when the snow melts in the spring the meadows will all reek,
From all the junk the kids have dumped, clogging up the creeks
The truckers will truck it all away, off to the dump and then
It won’t be long until we sing this song of Christmas once again
