Too Smart For Santa
02:22
|
|||
|
Well, Motion cameras set to go
Holding up in their hide-y hole
Caffeine Pills lined in a row
And they won’t give up until they know
(Well They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
The night’s quiet as a mouse
Too Smart For Santa
Well he’ll circle ‘round the house
Rudolphs nose is glowing red
He Said
(I think we have a trouble house ahead)
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year
Raiding pockets, receipt lines
Every hiding spot’s been mined
Nothing’s getting by this time
They’re older now they have resigned
(That They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
He’ll do the neighbours first
Too Smart For Santa
This house always was the worst
Santa’s run out of Christmas Cheer and
Dad’s all run out of Christmas Beer
Too Smart For Santa
He might not come this year
Dasher’s trippin’
Dancer’s flippin’
Prancer, Vixen’s minds are fried
Comet’s coping
Cupid’s mopping
Donner, Blitzen, they’re just hopping
Santa’s gonna let it slide
They sang the songs, And heard the psalms
Set the traps with great Aplomb
Dad’s gonna go off like a bomb
He just wanted his “present” from Mom!
(But They’re)
Too Smart For Santa
He’s not about beg
Too Smart for Santa
Kids waiting in Winnipeg
I think he’s waited around enough
“If they don’t want presents well that’s just tough”
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year
Too Smart for Santa
He might not come this year
Too Smart for Santa
He might. Not. Come. This Year.

The Fatman Knows
02:05

While he see’s what you’ve been doing
He’s see’s what others can’t
Your brother takes a beating
But he doesn’t even ever rat
We’ll he knows if you’ve been trouble
Cause that how the story goes
You can hide it from your daddy
But The Fatman always knows
The Fatman always knows,The Fatman always knows
You can hide it from your daddy
But The Fatman always knows
He knows if you’ve been skirting
The things you gotta do
Like taking out the garbage
Or listening in school
We’ll he knows if you play hooky
Underneith your parents nose
You an hide it from your mama
But the The Fatman always knows
The Fatman always knows,The Fatman always knows
You can hide it from your mama
But The Fatman always knows
Well he knows if you’ve forgotten
To take care of your pets
He knows if you brushed your teeth
Or just made the bristles wet
But he’s easy to forgive
If he can just put his toes
Milk and Cookies sooth his knowledge
But The Fatman Always Knows
The Fatman always knows,The Fatman always knows
Milk and Cookies sooth his knowledge
But The Fatman always knows

Together at Christmas
03:34
|
|||
|
I’m on the outside looking in
It looks so warm and inviting
The Christmas lights are covered by the snow
I can see you through the glass
But the moment has to pass
When we’ll see again neither of us will know
We’ll be together at Christmas
Even though we’re far apart
We’ll be together at Christmas
In my heart
It’s Christmas time again
Sometimes I wonder where it’s been
Music warms the silence of the town
The shoppers all went home
Make sure that no one’s left alone
The streets are bare with no one left around
You’re on the inside looking out
That’s what this holidays about
Seeing things from someone else’s side
If we’re strong then we’ll endure
Our love’s never been so pure
As the feelings that prevail during Yuletide
We’ll be together at Christmas
Even though we’re far apart
We’ll be together at Christmas
In my heart
We’ll be together at Christmas
Even though we’re far apart
We’ll be together at Christmas
In my heart

Lets do while we’re young
String up lights and having fun
Got your Christmas corset on
Let’s rock and roll until the dawn
Sweatin’ so hard we can barely see
Do the Candy Cane Rock with me
Let’s do the Candy Cane Rock
(Candy Cane Rock)
Let’s set the mood tonight
It’s only one night all year long
Make sure we do it right
Got our favourite music there
Smell of Christmas in the air
Chocolate kisses and lips that glint
You taste like sweet peppermint
Sweatin’ so hard we can barely see
Do the Candy Cane Rock with me
You’re just my favourite square
Throw your jacket anywhere
Fill you up with Christmas cheer
Gonna rock with you my dear
Sweatin’ so hard we can barely see
Do the Candy Cane Rock with me
Let’s do the Candy Cane Rock
(Candy Cane Rock)
Let’s do the Candy Cane Roll
(Candy Cane Roll)

Christmas on the Fly
02:22
|

Santa Claus don’t forgot about me
I can make it up to you, you’ll see
I’ve been bad almost everyday
I forgot that you could come my way
Now I look to the sky
I got Christmas on the F.L.Y.
I guess I haven’t really paid my rent
Haven’t see my best gal since lent
I’ve been a scroundral and a bit of a thief
But I’ve got a day to turn a new leaf
I’m feeling so high
I got Christmas on the F.L.Y.
Got some cookies! Check!
Cocktails! Check! Check!
A big holly wreath wrapped round my neck
Santa Hat! Bells on my sleigh!
Who’d of thought I wasn’t ready
Yesterday
I could almost die
I got Christmas on the FlY
Santa Claus please don’t pass me by
Next year I swear that I’ll really try
I promise I won’t put it off all year
And do it last minute in high gear
This is my war cry
I got Christmas on the FLY
The snow is falling all around
The tracks of footprints on the ground
Smiling people everywhere
I can’t help but stop and stare
This year I’ll be that guy
I got Christmas on the FLY
Now I look to the sky
I got Christmas on the FLY
I could almost die
I got Christmas on the FLY

Hey pretty one, you call
and need me right away
You’re all alone
And no ones home
If you invite me in then I’ll surely stay
I won’t wait another minute then
I’ll be out the door before you say when
Cause I’d brave the cold for you
The wind it blows
And I’m nearly froze
But if it’s all for love that how it goes
Cause I’d brave the cold for you
The mercury has fallen
Out the base
It’s Christmastime
And it’d be a crime
If I couldn’t see the look on your face
I won’t wait another minute then
I’ll be out the door before you say when
Cause I’d brave the cold for you
The wind it blows
And I’m nearly froze
But if it’s all for love that how it goes
Cause I’d brave the cold for you
I’m heading into town
This holiday is something but it all
adds up nothing without you
The snow is coming down
There’s nothing outside man or beast
Ice and sleet are slowly creeping through
One more block The wind cuts
through my clothes
Push past the ice
And I don’t think twice
Though my eyes won’t blink as my lashes froze

Mistress Christmas

Oh Mistress Christmas
I see that’s it time
You’re here once again
It’s seemed like Lang Syne
You drain my pockets
You leave me spent
Take me for all I have
Down to the last cent
Oh Mistress Christmas
How fast you went
The missus she’s know
About our fling
Well she doesn’t mind dear
Long as she wears the ring
I bring you stockings
I bring you bows
You bring me good spirits
Like no one else knows
Oh Mistress Christmas
It’s you I choose
I’ve been without you all year long
I never ever asked you to stay
But now that you’re back and you’re here with me
You will never ever leave I pray
Oh Mistress Christmas
You bring sweet memories
With you come good tidying
And joyful reveres
I craved you darling
I’ve missed you dear
And If I seem absent
While you are here
I’m just glad we
Meet up
Only once a year……

Jingle Bells
02:20
|
|||
|
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring,
Making spirits bright.
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight, oh!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one-horse open sleigh.
A day or two ago
I thought I’d take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upshot
Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young.
Take the pretty girls tonight,
Sing this sleighing song.
Get a bobtailed bay,
Two forty for his speed,
And hitch him to an open sleigh,
And you will take the lead.

Santa's Christmas
02:04
|
|||
|
Lying idle by the pool side
Soaking up the mid day sun
Mrs Claus in a two piece
Finally off the run
No more black boots weighing him down
Feeling sand between his toes
Color on his cheeks is a tan
Sunscreen covers his red nose
This is Santa’s Christmas
The day after everyones
This is Santa’s Christmas
Time to have a little fun
Donner sipping gin and tonic
Blitzens vice is lime and beer
Resting their weary haunches
Ready for another year
Bartenders running ragged
Keeping syrup on the shelves
If you think that Santa’s been busy
Try to serve a thousand elves
This is Santa’s Christmas
The day after everyones
This is Santa’s Christmas
Time to have a little fun

Merry Christmas and
A Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and
A Happy New Year
Hope your days are all filled with
Good tidings and cheer
I met a man with a beard white as snow
He said It’s not who knows you
and it’s not who you know
If you’ve never been hungry
and you’ve never been cold
You’re one of the lucky ones
and now you’ve been told
Merry Christmas and
A Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Merry Christmas and
A Happy New Year
Hope your days are all filled with
Good tidings and cheer
When I wake in the morning I will say
That I’ll love you tomorrow
like I love you today
And I’ll breath in the air
that will refresh and revive
And take in the all wonders of being alive
