You can keep October and its masquerade
Take November and its big old parade yeah
They are both fine holidays in many ways
But they can't compare to
Late in December when there's snow on the ground
Everybody all gathers in the center of town
So happy you're here with me
No place that 'd rather be
When they light up the tree
(You Know that's its Christmas time)
Nights are chilly and clear
And I'm holding you near
my favorite time of the year
(You Know that's its Christmas time)
Just a few days till Christmas Eve
When Santa Claus comes if you believe
Presents will soon be beneath the tree for you and me
But all I want is
For you to be certain that I love you so
And maybe find you flirting underneath the mistletoe
BRIDGE-
Its more than a state of mind you here at christmas time
you can look but may never find a love like yours and mine
So go ahead and keep July, and June.
September and August and the harvest moon
Now they're all fine times of the year, let me make this clear
Its just that I can't wait 'til
Late in December when there's snow on the ground
Everyone gathers in the center of town
CHORUS REPEAT TIL FADE

There's a chill in the air but I don't mind
All the folks on the street all seem so kind
Forget about your daily grind
This particular time of year
There are twinkling lights on every street
A smiling face for folks you meet
Some mistletoe and your night's complete
This particular time of year
I know it sounds outrageous
But you can sense it in the air
This kind of joy's contagious
Its a happy sort of feeling everywhere
So bundle up and head outdoors
Window shopping at all the stores
Here's good tidings to you and yours
This particular time of year

Christmas Kisses 2012
02:56

Once again its time of year
When we sing of Christmas cheer
Chilly nights wishing you were here
That's what this is.
I told Santa so long ago
That I still really love you so
The only thing I asked for so you know
Is some Christmas Kisses.
I know its just a foolish dream
Thinking you'd come back to me
Snuggled up all warm and cozy
Underneath the Christmas tree
As sure as Santa's reindeer fly
You can't blame me if I try
Wishing on the winter sky
For some Christmas kisses.

Christmas Cocktail 2012

Another cold and cozy christmas eve
we've trimmed the tree
the kids are upstairs snoozin'
a perfect time for you and me
to get snuggly and do a little boozin'
The year's flown by can you believe
that on our roof reindeer will be tapping
Then santa down our chimney
so we three can do some real night-cappin'
Take a shaker full of ice,
crushed candy canes are awfully nice
pour in some spirits and shake thrice,
and garnish with a little christmas cheer
lets lift your glass to santa's heath,
then nostrovia to all his elves
the third time raise one to yourself,
enjoy your merry christmas cocktail

I Believe In Santa
02:29

There no Santa some folks say
But I don't view the world that way way
I'm grown up and I can say
that I believe in Santa
As we grow older some become
discouraged, bitter and sort of dumb
pay them no mind
is my rule of thumb 'cause
'cause I believe in Santa
He's out there for the greater good
dropping by each neighborhood
and i know he wish he could
visit every day
Tell me what good is achieved
when you crush a kid's beliefs
to steal their joy just like a thief
is awful propaganda
there are many shades of truth
and i think some are quite uncouth
perhaps it takes a tragic youth
to make them forsake Santa
Peace on warth good will to men
what an awful message to try and send
I don't feel the need to defend
why I believe in Santa
spoken: no Virginia, there is a Santa Claus

Best Gift Of All (Album)
01:57

I always find
when christmas time
comes 'round each year
the latest ads
are pushing fads
dressed up as cheer
we get crazed
in a daze
of shopping excess
we forget about the ways
we're blessed
don't matter if you're faithful
or a skeptic inside
don't care what you believe in
thats for you to decide
but a simple fact of life by chance or design
none of us have very much time
Life seem so long
when you're a small child
the days drag by ever so slow
Life moves along
we all live in denial
wondering' where on
earth the time did go
so listen to these
words before it gets too late
tell the people that you love "you love them"
don't you wait
you can't go out looking for it in a shopping mall
love is the best gift of all
love is the best gift off all

Hipster Christmas
02:27
|
|||
|
shave your eyebrows girls and boys
criticize the latest toys
wax your moustache
joy of joys!
Its a hipster christmas
door to door out caroling
really isn't quite their thing
jingle bells is too mainstream
for a hipster christmas
Hipsters needn't worry 'bout magical reindeer while
Riding round on bicycles that have only one gear
Hipsters needn't worry about Santa and his elves
Because self importance is the gift they can give themselves
discuss cool bands that no one's seen
tell your friends that you've gone green
had to sell your car is what you mean
Its a hipster christmas
Hipsters don't like christmas songs during time of yule
They sing of the holidays in March before its cool
Hipsters don't think Santa is a man that need be feared
He has to be a hipster wearing tights and that boss beard
Schizophrenic sense of style
Retro-white trash with douche bag guile
Pounding Pabst beer all the while
With a hipster sneer
have hipster christmas and an ironic new year

signs of christmas all around
since you've gone i have found
jingle bells make an awful sound
there's no christmas without you
I've trimmed the tree put up the lights
but I keep them all dark at night
being cheerful just don't seem right
its not christmas without you
seasons greetings are self-defeating
my pride i'm eating it whole
love is fleeting since our first meeting
you've burned right in to my soul
curling up next the fire's roar
i'm dead inside right to the core
i know i won't get what i'm asking for
there's no christmas without you

Christmas Early
02:31

christmas comes much earlier each year
Its not that I don't love the yuletide cheer
it seems that we don't remember
watching summer turn to fall
we would wait until december
before we go hit the mall
we've become cavalier
about christmas coming earlier each year
don't care for early christmas I won't lie
poor reindeer getting heatstroke in july
if we're not careful i can see
april full of christmas Trees
caroling in may seems quite insincere
the example that we're setting
is aiding and abetting
christmas coming earlier each year
santa and his merry elves
need time to stock up their shelves
they may strike if things get too austere
they've got to make a living
so lets get through thanksgiving
lets have christmas at christmas time this year
