Good King Wenceslas

Good King Wenceslas is a popular Christmas carol about a king who goes out to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (the second day of Christmas, December 26). It is sung by Buford and Baljeet in Phineas and Ferb Holiday Favorites.

Phineas and Ferb version Lyrics
Baljeet: Good King Wenceslas looked out

On the Feast of Stephen...

Buford speaking: Sorry I'm late. I was busy doin' some rewrites.

Baljeet speaking: Rewrites?

Buford speaking: I've highlighted your parts. Now sing along.

Buford: Santa Claus and all his elves

Are making gifts for Buford

Baljeet: I don't think that's how it goes

Buford: Nobody's askin' you, nerd

Baljeet speaking: Buford! You're completely disrespecting this classic song. You're ignoring the historical context. King Wenceslas was a great man. You have no idea what this song is about!

Buford: I know all about this song.

Buford: The words were by an English guy

The music's Scandanavian

Wenceslas was five-foot-six

He kept his face unshaven

Though just a duke throughout his life

He always ruled so justly

His kingly title was conferred

Upon him posthumously

Baljeet speaking: Well, I stand corrected. You seem to have a lot of information. But if you know so much about it, why do you not sing the original song?

Buford: I like my version better. It's about me!

Buford: Buford should get lots of gifts

Every Christmas season

When I see presents just for me

It always is so pleasin'

That is why I changed the words

To make the song more edgy

If you don't like the way I sing

You'll get a Christmas wedgie

Baljeet speaking: Oh, it's lovely. You're a veritable Oscar Hammerstein the Second, or uh...oh, well, at least it's over!
