Story behind the song

It came to us in a dream. Well...not exactly. The truth is, it came up with our holiday breakfast one morning. Kind of a Christmas special encapsulated in a pop song. A shanty brought back from the consumer paradise.

Lyrics

There's a plum for Santa's head 
       There's a kiwi for his sled 
       You can see a world of ideas 
       We wait breathless for her show 
       It's on Christmas time, you know 
       You can find a world of ideas 

       Oh-oh, we were born without the message 
       That our holidays can be custom 
       And our hands can be as sacred as hers 
       Just as sacred 

       She takes a stencil to some cream 
       She makes feather evergreens 
       She rolls with the appropriate theme 
       She makes sugar into string 
       She rigs up everything 
       You can find her full of ideas 

       Oh-oh, she's a yuppie and she's clever 
       And I look like I've got stigmata 
       I will follow her forever and ever and forever and ever and
       forever 

       Like in the testament of old 
       She's a character so bold 
       She entertains the anti-Christ 
       But that's water 'neath the bridge 
       There's no stain on her image 
       You can find a world of ideas 

       Oh-oh, we were born without the message 
       That our holidays can be custom 
       And our hands can be as sacred as hers 
       Just as sacred as hers, just as sacred as hers 
       Just as sacred
