LYRICS to THE LEAST NAUGHTY TOT

The least naughty tot
The least naughty tot
Here’s to the least naughty tot
Prospero Año y Felizidad

I know you’re hoping for a Merry Christmas
The season known for everyday accismus
The kids are hard to hold at bay come Christmas
‘Cause they think they are so smart

The geese globally bought
To roast in the pot
Well-mannered or not
Were probably nicer than your child

So stories were writ
The kids to outwit
And make them submit
To being-have and not so wild

The season of many tales and fictions
They’re fabricated to avoid the frictionsRelieve the parents of their worst afflictions
All those kids who won’t be nice

I’m gonna spill all the beans ‘bout Christmas
Naughty nice and that sort business
You can haul in the gifts on Christmas
If you get the right advice

The least naughty tot
Will hit the jackpot
Or so they’ve been taught
Year after year in Christmas lore

The least snotty tot
Stands out from the lot
The one never caught
And that gives them the higher score

So here’s a secret for you kids ‘bout Christmas
No Santa sees into your private business
No naughty-nice list gets checked for Christmas
Just ignore that for a start

‘Cause no one see’s all the stuff you’re doing
There is no access to that sort of viewing
All the mischievous kerfuffle brewing
Is just you doing your part

The least naughty tot
is prob’ly a snot
and not who you thought
So let it go to be forgot

The least naughty tot
The least naughty tot
Here’s to the least naughty tot
Prospero Año y Felizidad

ABOUT THE SOURCE MUSIC

"Feliz Navidad" is a Christmas song written in 1970 by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter José Feliciano. With its simple, heartfelt lyrics—the traditional Spanish Christmas/New Year greeting "Feliz Navidad, próspero año y felicidad" ("Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness") followed by (in English) "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart"—has become a Christmas classic and has gained enormous popularity around the world.

Feliciano says he recorded the song while feeling homesick at Christmas, missing his family in New York City and his extended family farther afield as he sat in a studio in Los Angeles. He remembered celebrating Christmas Eve with his brothers, eating traditional Puerto Rican foods, drinking rum, and going caroling. "It was expressing the joy that I felt on Christmas and the fact that I felt very lonely," he told NPR in December 2020. "I missed my family, I missed Christmas carols with them. I missed the whole Christmas scene."

Feliciano's 1970 recording of "Feliz Navidad" (in which he plays both an acoustic guitar and a Puerto Rican cuatro) is one of the most downloaded and aired Christmas songs in the United States and Canada. It was also recognized by ASCAP as one of the top 25 most played and recorded Christmas songs around the world.

The original version of "Feliz Navidad" first charted on any of the US Billboard music charts more than two decades after it was recorded, first on the Adult Contemporary chart on the week ending January 3, 1998 (reaching No. 18), and then on the Radio Songs chart the following week (reaching No. 70). Two years later, on the week ending January 8, 2000, the song re-entered the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart at a new peak of No. 12.

SO Appropriate.... The neighbors kids are not the least. Naughty Tots. ... just recently 1 (6yrs old) started spray painting his name on their front door.... and just this week, his Daddy gave him a gas powered go cart.... I can see the police reports in years to come...
LOVED the New lyrics... for this Christmas favorite. THANKS once more for the twinkle in my eye... your ever so slightly twisted sence of humor gives a mental giggle every time. KUDOS to who ever twisted you this way.

What makes this parody extra special and funny the parody lyrics are 100% true! Great job! Loved it! Thank you! 😅

[joancairns]

This is my favorite of your Christmas songs (so far). It's the highlight of my day.

[whitecrow]

Growing up hard of hearing, I heard the title of this song as "Fleas Never Die." 😂

[cynthiabragg]

Why did this leave me thinking about Don tRump being the biggest snotty tot 🤣🤣
Happy Holidays everyone ❣️
Lovely story about the least snotty tot.🌲🌲🎅🤶👼🛷🦌

I'm seeing ads for the upcoming Rolling Stones US tour offering discounts for AARP members. There has to be song in there somewhere.

Working retail this time of year, I can tell you about some of these kids just from what I see in the store! This song still makes for a nice diversion from all the political murk these days.

Happy ChristmaHanuKwanStiVus!

My son was taught that you get to ask for one gift and one gift only at the holiday season. And that you must also provide for someone less fortunate. My son was that maybe I don't believe in Santa Claus age, but he had to go ask Santa I guess to prove to me that he believed. This was an outdoor event that had a live mic on Santa. My son greeted Santa and ask if Santa could please make sure that all the men women and children living on the street had clean brand new warm blankets He also asked if there was any way that the Domestic Violence Shelter could get a half court basketball court set up. It's so happened that the domestic violence shelter was moving to a new location and the engineer working on the project heard this and he made sure that a full court adjustable size hoop basketball court was installed, as well as some soccer pitches. This was the Christmas that the homeless and domestic violence shelters got several gifts whom the givers attributed to hearing my son and his interaction with Santa. That radio station replayed that interview between my son and Santa several times. He was the not snotty not tot that year.

I've never heard that song (the original). Wrong side of the pond! But those lyrics could only have been written by a fellow parent and/or grandparent. Most likely the latter, sir?

Makes a lovely change to have a "bit of fluff" as we call it. Throughout the year we've needed the political satire to help us maintain our senses of humour at all, but sometimes you just have to switch that crap (the politics, not the satire!) off.

To Don & everyone who has been involved in any and all songs this year, I wish you a more relaxed December so you can have your very own Feliz Navidad!

[ernestcruz]

Boy, Santa's gonna tan your hide for you little mister. No "naughty or nice list"? Pshaw, I say...PSHAW! You're gonna get a big surprise come December 25th when you get your little fanny up and look under the tree and see nothing but empty real estate pal. Ray Stevens said it himself many years ago: "Santa Claus is watchin' you! He's everywhere, he's everywhere!" LOL, merry Christmas to you and all the gang at The Parody Project.

The Christmas movies are back, taking over free antenna TV.

[tmc]

Just plan fun to view, thank you. Great for the kids, what we need is for those over 18 to follow the same guidelines.

[barbarajolley]

Thank you, Don, for the giggle with this Christmas classic. A dose of reality, I say. :) Merry Christmas to you:)

[jamesroper]

😂 I was on a chair until I saw this parody! 😂😂 After that I was ROTFLMAO 😂😂

[oldskeptic]

... and just when you thought you're 'safe' from Don, he does this ...

[UkeCan]

Truth telling on Christmas?!! 😱
I think this will be your most controversial song ever! Feliz snotty tot. 🎄

[philippapay]

Loved this and how the least naughty tot could be a claim of TFG and all the siblings & neighbors & schoolmates who might rat him out at the holiday for their own gain is hilarious as a microcosm of family life or a macrocosm of our world leadership here in the USA. In days of yore, we had a neighbor who cancelled Halloween at their house. She'd been telling her kids since the beginning of the school year that they were out of hand. Finally in October she cancelled it. To this day her kids wear it as a funny story and badge of honor that Lauren had followed through on consequences. No one today would do that nor would their children think it wonderful as adults that they had such a good mother and share laughs about it. But today folks think Open House from 12n-3pm means you come & go as you please. Whereas, it still means you arrive after 12noon & leave by 3pm. During that time frame, you may come & go if you like or come and stay a mere hour of that period in order to greet all invitees.

My great grandfather was a very well known cartoonist, a fairly wealthy man. As he was walking home from buying a newspaper Christmas morning back in the late 1800’s, he ran into a little girl, sitting barefoot on a kerb in the snow crying. He asked what was wrong and she replied that she must have been a very bad girl because Santa had not brought her anything. My great grandfather was a sucker for kids. He went home, got my grandmother and great aunt, who were pretty young, to pack up the toys they had gotten for Christmas. He went into the kitchen and had the cook pack up Christmas dinner and took it to the little girl’s house. The next Christmas, for his Christmas cartoon, he drew a little girl, head down on the table holding an empty stocking. His editor said it was too depressing to print. My great grandfather said that, if he didn’t print it, the paper would not have its Christmas cartoon. The drawing was called “Forgotten” and it inspired a group of well off former newsboys to found the Goodfellows, a Detroit institution that exists to this day. Their motto is “ give every child a Christmas”. They sell a yearly newspaper that always has “Forgotten” on the front page.

I told my kids that Santa and his elves did not make electronics. He and his elves made dolls, trains, blocks, but if they wanted a game boy or a Nintendo, they’d have to start saving their pennies. I told them mom and dad would match what they saved. They believed me.

An annual classic! I customized some lyrics....
