It's a Different Kind of Wonderful Life
My name used to be George Bailey
Though now I'm dead, well, technically
You see I wished to die one night
And now no one knows me, this is my plight
Thing is it's not so bad in Pottersville
Sure there's gambling, whores, and a lack of goodwill
But I'm a new man now, and astronaut-in-training
And I'm gonna go to the moon, with the name Charles Spanning!
I always wanted to travel, stuck as I was in Bedford Falls
Now that I have a dead brother, a crabby mother, and a wife roaming library halls
I'm free as a bird!
But now not another word!
Forget your bells and angel wings!
I'm heading to NASA tonight!
To take my first space flight!
So Merry Christmas to all!
And to all a good night!
