JJ Abrams' Magic Boxes (made of ticky tacky)

(to the tune of Little Boxes)

Magic boxes in the story
Magic boxes made of mystery
Magic boxes in the story
Magic boxes all the same

There's a time one and a ghost one
and a search one and a conspiracy
and they're all completely empty
and they all serve just the same

And the people watching tv shows
all expect some answers
and they're all so disappointed
cause they all end just the same.

And the JJ yeah the Abrams
never answers any questions
cause they're all completely empty
and they all come out the same.

And they move on to the next one
and find out there's something else new
that they have to figure out now
that is a complete mystery

and the mystery never gets results
and it keeps on being unsolved
or just goes away, unresolved at all
cause they come out all the same

and a new box comes along now
and it's all so mysterious
it's a box that's completely empty
which is just so completely lame

There's a time one and a ghost one
and a search one and a conspiracy
and they're all completely empty
and they all serve just the same

All I Want for Christmas is you (to take precautions)

I don't want a lot for Christmas,
there is just one thing I need.
I don't care about the people, 
singing on and off of key.
I just want pre-cau-tions now
any that you will allow.
Make my wish come truuuuue
all I want for Christmaaaaas iiiiis yoooooouYeah

I don't want a lot for Christmas
just for you to wear a mask (and I)
won't visit other people,
who can't manage this one task.
It's just hard to und-ersta-and,
and I don't mean to be brisk,
Seeing smiles won't make me happy
if they come with added risk
I just want to see you safe
cer-tain-ly don't mean to chafe
help me to see you
and not risk catching cov-id or fluuuuu, oooh baby

I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow 
I can wait a few more minutes 
open windows for air flow
Maybe add a HEP-A system
to help pur-i-fy the air
if it's not too much troub-ble
I think it is only fair
cause if you want me there tonight
I think it is only right
what more can I do
oh baby all I want for Christmas is you (and not sickness)

All the rates are rising, just like they did last year
and though with vac-cines there is not much that you fear
but ICUs are fill-ing
I know it is confusing
It's like we're repeating 
the same thing every year
and we just re-fuse to see-ee-ee

I don't want a lot for Christmas, this is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my family, test before I'm at the door
I just want you to be safe, 
never ever meant to chafe
Let me come see you
and not risk catching cov-id or fluuuuu (oooh baby)

all I want for Christmas is you, not illness
all I want for Christmas is you, not covid
all I want for Christmas is you, not the flu
