Children trembling by an open fire, all awaiting what they fear, They have provoked the monster's ire, knowing they've been little brats all year. All parents know their kids are reaping what they sow. They cannot be rescued from their plight. Tiny tots who might not become grown, will find it hard to sleep tonight. Because old Krampus is on his way, he’s come to haul the naughty children away, And once he stuffs them down into his sack, he will laugh as he hoists it on his back. And so I'm offering this free advice, to kids who act up or are plain rude, Be good, mind your folks, don't talk back, and be nice, so that Krampus won't take you. (Solo) And so I'm offering this free advice, to kids who act up or are plain rude, Be good, mind your folks, don't talk back, and be nice, so that Krampus won't take you.

Title
Children Trembling
There are many songs that sing of the love and generosity of St. Nicholas, but what of the songs of Krampus who punishes naughty children? Comedy folk duo The Courtesan & The Cabin Boy sought to remedy that oversight. While the Alpine tradition dates back through generations, that doesn't mean that Krampus can't fit in with modern sensibilities. Our Krampus treatment of this post-war favorite mixes well with post-consumerism.
