He looks a bit weird, he looks a bit thin 			
And look at that beard, like it's glued to his chin 			
The Jolly Guy is coming to town 			

And here's a strange thing, or is it just me? 			
But it felt a bit rough sitting up on that knee 			
The Jolly Guy is coming to town

...so I finished the filk myself. So: 		

[The first two verses as before] 		

And isn't that a pillow, 			
that's showing through his coat? 			
And listen, isn't that the worst 			
anyone's ever HO HO HO'd 			

And look at that pig, that beast of a boar 			
Look what it did - and right on the floor! 			
The Jolly Guy is coming to town

YES, I'm sure there is not a typo in the last line...but I know what you
mean. The lyrics may indeed sound more than just a little...funny to
someone not	familiar with the premise of *Hogfather*. 		

This was in no way intentional. Should pay more attention to these
things. Sorry about that. 		

So, a new version, just to be on the safe side...
