Davis: Lyrics D.A. Hughes: BGV arrangement, vocals Me: Tinsel and stuff Well, this is the time of year When we are all in great cheer We gather ‘round the mistletoe And run out in the virgin snow We celebrate the birth of Christ And wonder who’s been naughty or nice Well, this is the time of year To dream of elves and reindeer Go to bed early, wake up quick To see what was left by St. Nick Check under the tree for your gifts And hope you were on top of their lists The cookies are gone There is mud on the floor Something is amiss With this Christmas décor There’s someone by the fireplace Snoring up a storm You recognize his bearded face And his uniform But why does Santa smell like booze? Why did he throw up on my shoes? And what does he have left to lose? Oh, Santa Oh, Santa Well, we fetch a cup of joe As he wakes up, ho ho ho And just as we’re about to ask He pulls out a tiny li’l flask He looks us all right in the eyes Says “Bottoms up!” to our surprise Well, he finishes his drink And we don’t know what to think Should we call the cops or the North Pole? Or keep him here out of the cold? We’re all confused and full of doubts Did NORAD* track him to our house? The coffee is gone He’s yet to get sober Maybe he’ll be right Some night next October There’s only so much we can do On this holiday We’ve got to push him to get through And back into his sleigh Oh, why does Santa smell like booze? Is that him on the local news? Chasing around the camera crews? Oh, Santa Oh, Santa Oh, Santa, why do you smell like booze? Are you having the Christmas-time blues? I hope you’re not breaking any yuletide laws Or you’ll get in trouble with Mrs. Claus…. But why does Santa smell like booze? Why did he throw up on my shoes? And what does he have left to lose? Oh, Santa Oh, whoa, whoa, Santa *NORAD Santa Tracker Wiki Last edited by DC Ron; 12/19/23 05:35 PM.

Really well done, enjoyed very much! Now, post the one about the elf that goes postal please Dave, THANKS for the listen and the compliments. We have an album's worth of holiday tunes, and they are mostly...uh..."offbeat" is probably the best word. I'll have to ponder the elf song, it's pretty far out there.

Originally Posted by David Snyder DC, Very funny! I really liked this one!!! Ha ha. Excellent mix though, among all the frivolity. Ok if that is the way you are going to roll, I guess I need to pull out "Christmas Truck." David, so glad this pressed your "Like" button! Looking forward to hearing your "Christmas Truck". It might motivate a post of our elf-gone-postal song. Certain to offend folks on both sides of the 2nd Amendment debate... Last edited by DC Ron; 12/19/23 01:06 PM.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
