T’was the week before exams and all through Roy C
The Christmas joy was lost t’was not even found in me
There was no singing in the halls, not a carol to be sung
And on the sad tree in the courtyard, not an ornament to be hung
Maybe it’s the exams that put stress on their heads
As they sit in school wishing they were asleep in their beds
Or maybe it’s the fact that there has been no snow
And since school started, they are constantly on the go
They school all day and work by night
Their eyes droop like zombies’ as they give people a fright
They groan as they walk through the halls and stumble into each class
When all they want is to spend some time sitting on their couch
They sit on Santa’s lap as they beg and plead
“What is wrong?” He asks hoping of this burden he would be freed
They say, “I only have one single wish this year
It’s to go a day without shedding a measly tear”
“I can’t do that” he said “there is nothing I can do
Whether you cry or not is completely up to you
I will tell you what, I noticed something uncool
It has been brought to my attention that you have zero Christmas spirit at your school”
“It’s the exams” they said,” they are too much to handle
The stress builds up and makes them want to burst like a roman candle”
Santa then says with a great big smile
“I’ll let you focus on Christmas for a little while
I know that exams make you want to cry and are very hard
So in place of exams, there will be an A on your report card
There will be no exam week, so enjoy your Christmas spirit
Yell it at the top of your lungs for all to hear it
And when your mom asks you why you’re still in bed
Just simply say because Santa said”
