INTRO BANTER:
Maryem - Hi Roula
Roula - Hi ya Maryem
Maryem - I really like za bright Christmas lights
Roula - I know - I love Christmas, do you love Christmas?
Maryem - I love it so much even though I'm from a Muslim family and I love singing all those Christmas carols
Roula - Did you know something ya Maryem?
Maryem - What?
Roula - Zat a lot of za Christmas carols we love were written by Jewish composers
Maryem - Really?
Roula - Zat's right

Song:
Verse 1:
Maryem - When it's Christmas time and there's so much snow and you got no place to go?
Roula - All za shops are closed, you got a red red nose, and you don't want to catch a cold (or covid)
Maryem - you see the city so bright, it's like the broadway lights, and you get some inspiration

CHORUS:
When Arab ladies get za Christmas Blues, they make it better right away 'cause they know what to do, they just sing Christmas carols written by Jews

Verse 2:
Roula - When you're used to za heat, not za slush and sleet, and your heart is filled with woe
Maryem - All your friends went home to where they're from, and you're left downtown alone
Roula - You get some Chinese food to put you in za mood for a holiday celebration

CHORUS:
When Arab ladies get za Christmas Blues, they make it better right away 'cause they know what to do, they just sing Christmas carols written by Jews

Bridge:
So if you can't hear za silver bells ringing as you walk in a winter wonderland
And even if there's no chestnuts roasting
'Cause you can't make a fire, you can still take za day in hand

Verse 3:
If your family doesn't want to celebrate with gifts and too much food
Don't let their bah humbug put a damper on your holly jolly Christmas mood
Just give your spirits a lift with some cannabis and a joyous ululation

CHORUS:
When Arab ladies get za Christmas Blues, they make it better right away 'cause they know what to do, they just sing Christmas carols written by Jews

OUTRO:
Let it snow let it snow let it snow
We're so sad Honest Ed's had to close
Let it snow let it snow let it snow

p.s. If you don't know Honest Ed's - it was a bargain store that literally sold everything (like amazon - much nicer to the employees though - and a real physical building and great bargain prices). It was a beloved landmark in Toronto and Arab ladies loved to shop there :). But alas, it was torn down and the whole block is being re-developed.
