Minnesota Public Radio invites you to enter the third annual Happy Merry Lyric Contest!
Write your own snappy, sassy, or shiny version of one of the following holiday classics:
ADULT:
"Here We Come A-Wassailing" or
"Up on the Housetop"
YOUTH (13 and under):
"The 12 Days of Christmas"
Winning selections (two adults and one youth) will be recorded by Cantus and broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio's Classical Music Services from December 20-25. Each winner will receive an invitation to the recording session, plus five CD copies for their collection.
Enter your original lyrics from November 22 to December 12. See the Official Contest Rules for all details.
Adapt these Christmas classics to your own holiday theme or story, or add a topical spin to the tune. Lyrics relating to Minnesota Public Radio or its programming will not be considered in final judging — let the song be about you instead of MPR.

Here's the first verse & chorus for "Up on the Housetop":
Up on the housetop reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down thru the chimney with lots of toys
All for the little ones
Christmas joys
Chorus
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go?
Ho, ho, ho!
Who wouldn't go! Up on the housetop
Click, click, click
Down thru the chimney with
Good Saint Nick
