Christmas Alphabet

Christmas Alphabet is a song by the Eraserheads, parodying the Christmas song of the same name by The McGuire Sisters. The song was recorded live during the band's guest stint at Monster RX 93.1and was subsequently included in the cassette and CD release of the single Fruitcake (albeit not part of the official Fruitcake album) in 1996 and their compilation album Dirty Little Treasures in 2010.

Composition
The first verse is an actual cover of the Christmas Alphabet by The McGuire Sisters while the following verses replace the lyrics with social references relevant in the Philippines at the time such as the increasing traffic situation and the red tide outbreak years prior.

Lyrics
1, 7, 3 and... Da-da-da-da-da-da C is for the candy trimmed around the Christmas tree H is for the happiness in all the family R is for the reindeer prancing by the window pane I is for the icing on the cake as sweet as sugar cane S is for the stocking on the chimney wall T is for the toys beneath the tree so tall M is for the mistletoe where everyone is kissed A is for the angels who make up the Christmas list S is for the Santa who makes every kid his friend Be good and he'll bring you everything in a Christmas alphabet Da-da-da-da-da-da C is for the coño kids around the Christmas tree H is for the homeless kids around the Christmas tree R is for the red tide, madami sa canteen I is for illegal, all year-round as you can plainly see S is for the snow, wala noon dito T is for the traffic, marami tayo no'n M is for the mayors whom everyone is pissed A is for the ampons who makes up the concert list S is for the sweldo pambili ng regalo Da-da-da-da-da-da Da-da-da-da-da-da, hey! C is for the fushcia car we all are asking of H is for Eraserheads so please don't ask us why R is for the Aries that's good enough for me I is for Iraserheads again, as sweet as sugar cane S is for the santo on the chimney wall T is for the tansan, may we have them all M is for the money, money, money, money, money A is buy our album so we can buy a car S is for the sorry 'cause we don't know how to rhyme Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again) Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again) Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet (again) Be good and we promise not to sing that Christmas Alphabet 1-2-3-4 Thank you, thank you Ambabait ninyo, thank you
