A MUSIC PARODY
BASED ON:
"YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW"
BY: RATT



BONUS QUOTE:
"Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence."
NORMAN PODHORETZ
 
Spun around a title sub that hints something probably naughty list explicit this is for the rest of the surface a parody song about every good but impatient kid's worst nightmare; a Santa with a speech impediment! There's no offense meant to those who really have that, the central subtext cornerstone is a genre writer's phonetic in-joke, the image of hearing a boy band (Ratt was kind of a boy and/or hair band before the terms were coined) singing the chorus "you should ho by now" to a crowd of thousands of teenage girls, and as such it's meant to be inappropriate and in bad taste, much like the Spice Girls Reunion Tour, except that I can actually spell the word inappropriate without cue cards, ho-ho-ho.

Yo, Santa, where is my father?
The kitty's got to your tongue?
You gonna stand there forever?
Start talking while I am young!

You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!

Yo, Santa, where are the presents?
Have helper elves all demised?
I'm running out of leisure!
Come on, come on, retry!

You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!
You should ho by now!

Do I need t'yell at you? (Yell at you!)
You've got something to say? (Nay!)
And though that you are very slow...
Don't you get back to sleigh, back to the sleigh!

It sounds like a meow!
You should ho by now!
Time's up, let's endow!
You should ho by now!

Man, don't have a cow!
You should ho by now!
Send out for your frau!
You should ho by now!

I will not kowtow!
You should ho by now!
I'll go have some chow!
You should ho by now!
