about

A few years back (maybe more than a few...), I saw the John Favreau movie 'Elf' starring Will Ferrel. I developed what you might call a slight crush on its female star, a blonde-dyed then-unknown with a voice to die for by the name of Zooey Deschanel. Not being able to get her out of my head and without any way to get in touch with her, I decided to write her a song. And the obsession began....

lyrics

I don't want a lot for Christmas,
there is just one girl I need
I don't care about the presents
Xbox, PlayStation or Wii
I don't need a brand new Bentley
Tricked out rims, yeah outta sight
I just want to hear her gently
singing me to sleep at night

I just want her here with me
What a happy elf I'd be
Pray my wish comes true
All I want for Christmas is Zoo.


I won't ask for much this Christmas
I don't even wish for peace
Good will to all men is wishful
thinking, too much elbow grease.
I just want to be her "Yes Man"
Help her bring "The Good Girl" out
I've heard tell that 'she's got issues'
and I'd like to help her out

Cuz I just want her here with me
Singin to me so sweetly
I'll sing this one for you
All I want for Christmas is Zoo.


Since 'All The Stars Were Pretty Babies' I've been flawed
And nowadays I hear her singin with Matt Ward
But when it's 'Him and She'
I wish that him was me
Cuz I really wanna hold'er but my bonnie lies over the ocean so far away from me

I don't want a lot for Christmas,
This is all I'm hoping for
I just want to see my Zooey
Carol singing at my door
I would chance to ask her in
And then "The Good Life" could begin
Pray my wish comes true
All I want for Christmas is Zoo.
