Jor​-​El (A Superman Christmas Carol)

about

I made this song up in about 20 minutes back in 2008. The YouTube video gained notoriety ages later so I thought I'd record a nicer version for the Internets. Enjoy!

lyrics

Here's the story of a dear father we know
and his sacrifice made such a long time ago

In a Krypton town was a boy child's birth
But impending doom made him a Saviour to Earth

Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el
Gone is the father of Kal-el

Jor-el knew his planet’s end was drawing near,
Which brings up the question.:How did Supes end up here?

Jor-el looked up a new place on Google Sky
near a bright Yellow Sun where his child might fly.

Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el
Gone is the father of Kal-el

He put his son in big, comfy rock
Then he stood with his wife and they told him “Good luck.”

He gave his life that his one son might live
who saves us quite often, what a nice gift to give

Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el Jor-el
Gone is the father of Kal-el (repeat)
