Bob- Okay, good day, this is our Christmas part of the album,
and you can play this at your Christmas parties, uh,
or to yourself on Christmas Eve, if there's nothing else to do.

in case you don't know what to get somebody for Christmas.

Sheesh. Okay, you know what you left out?

Bob- But I want...

Doug- Merry Christmas, everybody!

Bob- Or on the twelfth day, you coulda got me a dozen donuts.

Doug- So, go out to the stores, and get some presents.

Bob- You coulda gone down to, like, the good donut shop,
where if you buy a dozen, you get another one free,
and then thirteen for the thirteen days of Christmas.

Doug- Well, next Christmas, I'll get me a chainsaw...

Bob- Take off!
