Event Description

In Manteca, California, out on Button Avenue,
the folks at CWC Life have some Christmas work to do.
They're stringing up lights from the roof to the door.
They're baking up cookies, then baking some more.

The tule fog's rolling, the orchards are bare,
and Christmas is coming. You can feel it in the air.
But up on a mountain, all grumpy and green,
lives the grumpiest grump that you ever have seen.

He's heard all the singing. He's heard every bell.
"BAH! WHO-BUG!" he grumbled. "I'm not feeling well!"
So he's grabbed his old sack and he's hitched up his sled,
and he's coming to Manteca. That's just what he said.

So lace up your sneakers and bundle up tight.
It's three point one miles to set Christmas right.
Run it or walk it, come quick or come slow,
just beat him to Button Ave. Ready? Set? GO!
