This Cabaret of WHO’S HOLIDAY by Matthew Lombardo
Is strictly R-rated, so don’t bring your kiddo
Cindy Lou’s now a grown-up, with all that it brings
Cocktails and cursing and jokes are her things.
By the ending we’re left with the thinks that we thought
Which underscores all of the laughter she wrought
Just like us all, Cindy Lou just needs kindness
It’s good that WHO’S HOLIDAY‘s here to remind us.
