“Tis the Season for Tamales” #20
(To the tune of “Deck the Halls”)
Verse 1:
Tis the season for tamales,
Tama -la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Spicy pork and green-filled follies,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Steam them up and pass them over,
Tama-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Grandma’s shouting, “Don’t you hover!”
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Verse 2:
Corn husks flying in the kitchen,
Tama-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Abuela’s laugh is always pitchin’,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Fill the masa, don’t you skimp it,
Tama-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Tio’s sneaking one to dip it,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Bridge:
Pile them high, we’ll eat together,
Tama-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
In any kind of Christmas weather,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Tamale cheer, both red and green,
Tama-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
The tastiest feast you’ve ever seen,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Finale:
So grab your plate, don’t be shy-y-y,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
With tamales stacked up sky-y-y high,
tama-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Let’s eat and sing till morning’s near,
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Tamale time, the best of the year,
Tama-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
