All I want for Christmas is a length of rope
To tie into a noose
So I can hang up everything I need to hang
It's good for every use
I could hang a wreath, I could hang a candy cane
I could hang some mistletoe
I could even hang a noose by the fireplace
With a holly, jolly glow
Hang yourself, hang yourself, hang yourself a little ornament
Upon the Christmas tree
Don't you wish, don't you wish you were dedicated
As Santa seems to be?
End your life, end your life, end your life of sorrow
'Cause now's the time for cheer
And I hope that when I look under the Christmas tree
There'll be a noose for me this year
Now I know the noose has a real dark past
That many folks abhor
But I think the time has come for us to change all that
And make it fun once more
After all, it's just a rope with a useful knot
Like the one on Santa's sleigh (ho, ho, ho)
So let's all hang around the Christmas tree
And have ourselves a happy holiday
Hang yourself, hang yourself, hang yourself a little ornament
Upon the Christmas tree
Don't you wish, don't you wish you were dedicated
As Santa seems to be?
End your life, end your life, end your life of sorrow
'Cause now's the time for cheer
And I hope that when I look under the Christmas tree
There'll be a noose for me this year
