Shopping Cart Sleigh
03:34
|
|||
|
I went to the store
To buy some more
Groceries today
I find the time
Time for a ride
Ride in my sleigh
Bells fading and ringing
At the front
Of the store
Some people forget
What the meaning of Christmas
Is for
I went too far
Following a star
I started to roam
I got caught in a blizzard
But my sleigh
Carried me home
I got to go fast in the shopping cart sleigh
(Gotta go fast in the shopping cart sleigh x4)
I'll make it on time for Christmas day
(Make it on time for Christmas day x4)

Egg Nog
02:38
|
|||
|
Just before it's time to go to bed
They try to feed me pills to clean my head
No sir, I don't need none of that!
I got my egg nog
My girl was trying to make some plans
She said she wanted to go out to a dance
No miss, I don't need none of that!
I got my egg nog
Things were lookin' pretty crude
It's been awhile since I've had any food
No sir, I don't need none of that!
I got my egg nog
They told me we were going to the pound
They said it's time to put me in the ground
No sir, I don't need none of that!
I got my egg nog

The Perfect Tree

The perfect tree
It must have grown just for me
Now I bring it home
To my family
I will put the presents down
Underneath the piney bough
Santa helps to fill the floor
Circles round and helps some more
All that I can say
I'm happy for Christmas day
Nothing cheers me more
Than when the children play
Hanging from the branches green
Little baubles shine and gleam
Santa's done before midnight
Watch him fade away in flight
The perfect tree
It must have grown just for me
Now I bring it home
To my family
I will put the presents down
Underneath the piney bough
Santa helps to fill the floor
Circles round and helps some more

There's a spill of soap and bleach
The mopping handle falls to me
This mess will occupy me
All the way to New Year's Eve
Still I wish you Merry Christmas
From the back of aisle three
Although you won't be seeing me
I've left a present near the tree
I'll be off eleven thirty
Cringle's offered a ride to me
And I'll wish you a Merry Christmas
When I'm back from aisle three

Snowy Fall

Snowy fall
The rain is stalled
On the street
They paint a scene
Who believed
The waterfall
Would crawl and freeze
And so serene

Today I Feel Just Snowy
02:54
|
|||
|
Jimmy brought along a carrot nose
Bobby brought along two lumps of coal
Randy brought along his father's hat
Never thought I'd wear something like that
Tomorrow I might melt away
Today I feel just snowy
Jimmy started rolling up some snow
Bobby started tying up a bow
Randy started looking round for sticks
Found a couple pebbles for my lips
Tomorrow I might melt away
Today I feel just snowy
Suddenly my eyes began to glow
Everybody's happiness began to show
They showed me the way to the grocery store
They thanked me for cleaning up the floor
Tomorrow I might melt away
Today I feel just snowy

I've got a little secret
A thing I think you should try
It's something quite terrific
A big white beard in the sky!
Great big white beard in the sky!
After a long sleigh ride
I wanted to go inside
But one thing caught my eye
A big white beard in the sky

Tell me (Tell me)
What do you want
For Christmas?
I could give you (Give you)
All that you want
In your wishes
I'll bring you the world
I've been grabbing (Grabbin)
All that I see
For your stocking
I could tell ya (Tell ya)
All about what
I've been thinking
I'll bring you the world
I'll be wrapping (Wrapping)
Everything up
With tinsel
In return (Return)
I don't want a lot
Just a little

A Big Star
02:14
|
|||
|
I would like to see
A big star on my tree
Carefully
It's where it's meant to be
I know
We're safe in the glow
Thinking, "Gee,
I must've met happy"
I didn't believe
Love could be so free
I know
We're safe in the glow
I would like to see
A big star on my tree
In company
I'm where I'm meant to be

The Eve

I am asleep for now
And indiscreet somehow
We've reached the eve ah aaah
He leaves the snow a-plough

Gingerbread Boy

I'm so proud of my Gingerbread Boy
I raised him up from a crumb
I taught him how to spread the joy
And showed him where it's from
Gingerbread Boy X5
Today I hold him in my hand
But I know that some day
They will call him a gingerbread man
When I am old and grey
Gingerbread Boy X10
