A parody of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

The invite it said "Gentlemen, please bring something sweet"
I thought I'd take my wife with me, because she's quite a treat,
The men already there let expletives fill the street,
For each of them brought a tart, not their wife,
Not their wife,
And now I'm faced with trouble and with strife.

The invite it said "Gentlemen, please bring something sweet"
I asked my darling wife to make something nice to eat,
She grabbed at once a rolling pin, and me she tried to beat,
She chased me round the room and out the door,
Out the door,
And now I'm in worse trouble than before.

The invite it said "Gentlemen, please bring something sweet"
I left my angry wife alone and beat a quick retreat
I took Candy and Honey too, and asked them to be discrete
I was of course found out, but how was I to know
I to know
That my wife was Sugar in their burlesque show.
