lyrics

La Befana, you broke my heart
Christmas was over
A new year would start
A new chance to be a good boy
A chance to prove how
I deserve some good toys
But when the Epiphany came
I looked in my stocking
And felt so much shame
For all that was in there
From top to toe
Was some garlic, an onion, and coal

Are you kidding me, Befana?
I've been a good kid
I did way more good stuff
Than my sisters did
Well, I guess there was
That one bad thing
But little Dom still has
Nine other fingers
And I suppose you could count
That time in July
I set fire to the couch
But I have been a saint otherwise
It's true
So garlic, Befana?
How dare you

You've been a bad boy
But a saint otherwise?
I've heard it before
You're not like other guys
Tell that to your neighbor
Whose cat you shaved
Are those spanks on your bottom
For being so well-behaved?
I fly house to house
Giving good children toys
I have no time to
Reward rotten boys
You get what you get
It's within your control
So I'm sorry
You've been naughty
You're getting coal

La Befana, you witch
(Giuseppe you twit)
You ugly old hag
(You insolent nag)
I know you've got the good stuff
In that there bag
(You have been bad)
Hop back on your broom
(Back to your room)
Fly back to me
(Stop vexing me)
You made a mistake
Come give me toys and treats
(Are you sorry?)
I left cookies out for you
(Tasted like a shoe)
And a heavy pour of wine
(I don't drink cheap wine)
I gave you your treats
Now what about mine?
(Try being nice)
I'm sorry for my tone
(It's okay
Here's some candy)
Oh! Thank you
(Now go away)
