Lyrics: Ho ho ho, it's the holidays And I've got a little riddle rap verse to kick I'm gonna give you five three-word phrases Each with a common characteristic You gotta figure out what that is And here is a hint to start you off right: If Santa Claus deciphered the answer, How might he express his delight? Unh! OK, here's the first one, It's for all my party people in the place to be Who have perfect pitch. I don't need to tell you This beat's in the KEY OF G And, if trees could talk, Imagine what they might say If they were being chopped down for firewood: "Hey! Stop! AXES STING, OK?" If I want more cinnamon in my soy nog, I don't ask nicely I demand it like a Christmas carol! I SING, "SPICE ME!" If the Three Wise Men caught the acting bug that's so contagious And then portrayed themselves in a touring Nativity play, You could say those MAGES TROD STAGES Are these word games trivial? Yup. But are they fun? Also yes! So I guess, in the end, a quiz like this is neither USEFUL NOR USELESS So there you go -- five phrases! I hope you're intrigued and tantalized Send me a message when you crack the code And I'll pick one of your smartypants replies The selection will be randomized And the winner will receive a handsome grand prize Good luck solving, And please stay tuned for the answer, guys! *** Beginning this rap with "ho ho ho" was a clue to the solution If you add one "ho" to each of these three words You'll wind up with three new ones: HOKEY HOOF HOG HOAXES HOSTING HOOK HOSING HOSPICE HOME HOMAGES HOTROD HOSTAGES HOUSEFUL HONOR HOUSELESS And the winner is /pacopax I'll be mailing you an autographed copy of my compact discus Thanks everybody for watching and playing Hope you had a very merry Quizmas.
