Like a fixture down on Main Street She stood there all year long With a tin cup and a tamborine Singing Christmas songs Folks thought she was crazy But they loved to hear her sing They'd drop some money in her can She'd shake that tamborine And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine She wore that same old ragged coat all the year around Lived all alone in a little shack just outside of town She'd stand there singing "Jingle Bells" in the heat of the summer time Yes, every day was Christmas in Carol Johnson's mind And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine But I can still remember that twinkle in her eye 'Cause Carol kept a secret from the people pa**ing by That secret was a mystery they talked about so long How each Christmas eve those gifts showed up outside the children's home That was forty years ago, or fifty I believe But still the toys keep showing up each year on Christmas eve I wonder if we'll ever know just who took up the cause Is it still Christmas Carol Or is it Santa Claus? And they called her Christmas Carol There's not a Christmas song she couldn't sing I remember Christmas Carol With her snow white hair and her beat up tamborine (Repeat chorus)
