Another Brown Christmas in Texas

//We’ll have a brown Christmas in Texas
Without the cold and snow of Boston
Celebrations of Santa with olive colored skin
He won’t be on TV nor menudo glistening

Another scorching Christmas in Texas
With all the primos fighting for presents
We’ll be hot and so sweaty, we won’t need any clothes
Cause it’s a brown, brown, brown Christmas in Texas//

Practicing Pastorelas, go see La Noche Buena
Cause it’s a brown, brown, brown Christmas in Texas
