Politically incorrect on as many levels as I can muster.

White Kwanzaa


I'm dreaming of a white Kwanzaa
Just like the ones I knew so good
Where the crack vials glisten
and children listen
To hear po-lice in the ‘hood.

I'm dreaming of a white Kwanzaa
With every Kwanzaa card I swipe
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Kwanzaas be white.

I'm dreaming of a white Kwanzaa
With every Kwanzaa card I swipe
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Kwanzaas be white.


And now, "White Christmas" as Irving Berlin originally wrote it,
in Yiddish:

Ikh kholem fun a vaysn yontef

Punkt vi in shtetl Bilgorey

Vu di beymer blishtshen

Un kinder kvitshen

Ven zey hulyen inem shney.

Ikh kholem fun a vaysn yontef

Ven ikh gedenk fun langer tzayt

Zol zayn simkhes un gute nayes

Un zol yontef brengen shneyen vays.
