(To the tune of Carol of the Bells)
May nag-doorbell, hawak ay papel:
ampao na pula. Kumikinang, mata:
“Ninong’s not here? Ba’t amoy beer?”
Suweldo’y simot, ’Lang maiabot
Niiii-noong?! Niii-nooong?! ’Yun ang tanong.
Cellphone, nag-ring, ika’y napraning,
iyong kinarir ang pag-disappear.
They’re everywhere, you feel despair.
Shet! Kumalabog! Puso’y kumabog!
Tago, dali, at magkubli!
’La kang datung, di alam ano’ng
ibibigay, sa nag-iingay,
kundi, “Merry, merry, merry Christmas!
’Kay lang ba sa ’yo ang medyas?!”
