You better watch out,*

You better watch out,
You better all cry,
You better all pout,
AFA is telling you why:
The evil gays are coming to town.

AFA's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out
Who's naughty and nice.
The evil gays are coming to town.

They'll get you when you're sleeping.
Or even when you're awake.
Evil gays are bad, not good,
So be good for God's own sake!

You better watch out,
You better all cry,
You better all pout,
AFA is telling you why:
The evil gays are coming to town.
The evil gays are coming to town!

Perhaps . . .

. . . I could enter my submission in German, as the original. ;)

Thanks for the vote of confidence, there, Rob - my filking ability is not one to be tested too harshly.

I did consider that

I thought about making my submission in German, but figured that would be too much work. But I personally love "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht".

I entered last year, when the theme song was "Joy to the World", and was one of the 4 (or maybe 5) whose songs were used to create the final version they list on the site. It got me a cool $80 (give or take), so I figured I'd enter again this year. I don't much like what I've made of "Silent Night", but it's the best I'm going to do. I'm going to put my submission here, and if it inspires anyone to write something better I'll be happy.

(To the tune "Silent Night")

Driving all day, no sleep last night
Opening gifts with delight
Brandy, eggnog, and pumpkin pie
Too much to eat again, my oh my
These are my favorite days
These are my favorite days

Kids playing games, nobody fights
Gramma says "Turn on the lights.
"Sing me the songs you know I hold dear."
She's so happy 'cause everyone's here.
This is her favorite day
This is her favorite day

Finally home, children are tired
You tuck them in, I'll build a fire
Silently watching the flames dancing bright
Caressing your face, holding you tight
This was my favorite day
This was my favorite day
