Screen Your Calls

A Parody of "Deck The Halls"

By Jason APublished 11 months ago • 1 min read

Screen your calls with robo voices Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Those car warranties and Medicare choices

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Tis' the season for family and friends

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

But feels like the SPAM never ends

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

----------

Trying to listen to my favorite Christmas song

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

This caller keeps pronouncing my name wrong 

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Gifts to give and card to send

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

These calls are a pain in my rear end 

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

----------

The evergreens outside are just slightly snow-kissed

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Inside the phone rings from a data center call list

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Put your ringer on silent right away

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

So you can actually enjoy this holiday

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Holiday
