If The Dog Don’t Bite Santa


Santa saw your facebook page and to make your Christmas merry

He’s buying you some brand new clothes and a great big dictionary

Grandma bought some batteries and attached them to a note

Toys are not included and that is all she wrote


If The relatives they start to fight like they have in the past

Put some mistletoe in your back pocket and they can kiss your

Well I guess it’s time to celebrate so pass the Christmas cheer

And if the dog don’t bite Santa we’ll have a Happy Holiday this year


Lights are on the front porch but no snows on the ground

Cause it’s 80 degrees and the wreath we hung is looking mighty brown

Frosty the snowman ain’t gonna melt cause he’s made of styrofoam

Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant :-) Tapped my foot from beginning to end. Lyrics (and their humour) is/are superb, the vocals make it really special, the writing is stellar, the solo mandolin is a great choice ... seriously, BRAVO. Hats off! One of the more pleasant Christmas songs I've heard in a while :-) Merry Christmas!

Tommy, you are on a roll! Saw those names, and had to give this a listen. Cool song. I was going to mention some of my favorite lines, but realized I'd just be reposting the words to the entire song! Creative and funny and a great sound!

Best Christmas song I've heard in a long time (okay, I usually skip Christmas songs, but you get the idea).

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your lyrics and how you deliver them. Brilliant!

Oh, man, this is brilliant, Tom. What a great band. The lyrics are just perfect and the changes are superb and ideal for a Christmas song. A lot of tension building in and the release is such a treat. You're right, that law firm really can jam. The lyrics are all terrific, but this is my favorite line: "Christmas makes me homesick even though I’m home." Sounds like a Yogism.
