[00:00.28]Some time ago, at Santa's place
[00:03.53]Up in the old North Pole
[00:06.20]There lived a lump of anthracite
[00:09.21]Whose parents called him Joel
[00:11.56]
[00:12.54]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[00:15.54]Happy as a lump can be
[00:18.14]He just wants to keep Santa warm
[00:21.34]And make the elves cozy
[00:23.34]
[00:24.19]But Santa Claus had other plans
[00:27.36]For Joel one fateful day
[00:30.50]"Joel, you're just the lump I need
[00:33.14]Come join me on my sleigh"
[00:35.50]
[00:36.52]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[00:39.50]Heart leapt up with joy
[00:42.14]"I'll soon be Santa's present to
[00:45.37]A lucky girl or boy
[00:47.35]
[00:48.15]We'll laugh and play together
[00:51.18]And hold each other tight
[00:54.50]Snuggle under clean white sheets
[00:57.19]When we go to sleep at night"
[00:59.13]
[01:00.14]Then Santa's elves all laughed at Joel
[01:03.20]"You're in for a surprise
[01:06.13]You're not a special Christmas gift
[01:09.14]You're just a booby prize
[01:11.23]
[01:12.13]What kid would ever want you?
[01:15.13]You're filthy as can be
[01:18.52]Now you have to go and live
[01:21.14]With one who's been naughty"
[01:23.10]
[01:24.33]"But I make heat," poor Joel cried
[01:27.30]"And electricity"
[01:30.12]"You pollute the air
[01:32.59]With CO2 and mercury"
[01:35.30]
[01:37.24]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[01:39.90]Fell down upon his knees
[01:43.22]"I don't wanna live with a naughty kid
[01:45.87]Don't make me, Santa, please"
[01:48.00]
[01:49.80]But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
[01:51.79]"Ho, ho, you stupid lump
[01:54.92]You're just the thing to teach this brat
[01:57.86]That Santa ain't no chump"
[02:00.60]
[02:00.91]So off they flew and, before he knew
[02:04.23]Joel was in a sack
[02:06.89]He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
[02:09.95]"Why don't we just go back?"
[02:11.97]
[02:12.84]And then came Christmas morning
[02:15.86]And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)
[02:19.23]He saw a boy with the saddest face
[02:21.90]And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes)
[02:24.52]
[02:24.86]He picked Joel up and held him
[02:27.86]And said "You can be my friend (Hey man, let's be friends)
[02:31.90]I would've liked some presents but
[02:34.80]You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send)
[02:36.70]
[02:37.40]It's true, I've been a naughty boy
[02:40.15]And maybe that's a sin (Maybe that's a sin)
[02:43.23]If this is how Santa treats the kids
[02:46.90]I'm just glad that I'm not him"
[02:47.96]
[02:49.24]Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[02:52.24]Knew what he must do
[02:54.87]He said "Now I know the reason why
[02:58.26]I got sent to you
[03:00.60]
[03:01.16]Cause when a person hurts inside
[03:03.99]It turns him hard and cruel
[03:07.19]But I know how to make your pain
[03:10.20]Into a precious jewel
[03:11.98]
[03:12.87]So take me in your hand, young man
[03:16.10]And squeeze with all your might
[03:18.86]Let's turn your pain and anger
[03:21.17]Into something that shines bright"
[03:24.23]
[03:24.84]Then Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
[03:28.18]He gave his life away
[03:31.90]So that one good naughty little boy
[03:34.10]Had a diamond on Christmas day
