Alternative Christmas! by Andrew LB Smith published on 2010-10-27T17:39:15Z Alternative Christmas (Credits at end) Saturday night on go the lights Too many beers and a couple of fights Taxi for 2, yeah I'm feeling alright Christmas is nigh Workmen on ladders decorate the town Pushing and shoving rushing around Cash tills ring to Christmas pounds Yes Christmas has arrived Christmas, all red gold and green Alternative Christmas, it’s the scene! Christmas card shop front, dirty old town Karaoke singers ten to the pound Coca cola red and white all around Chris tingle rhymes Ding dong last orders merrily were high Out on your ear for a Pumpkin Pie Polystyrene Santa’s flying through the sky Yes Christmas is high Alternative Christmas, you know what I mean Alternative Christmas, it’s the dream And I’m crawling up the stairs on my hands and my knees The kids think I’m Santa, won’t you help me please Gotta think of something, what else could I do Put on my Santa suit…. Oh no its Christmas, the drunks are all in bed Ho ho it’s Christmas, and Santa’s on his sled Alternative Christmas all red gold and green So glad its Christmas, it’s the dream So merry Christmas, so happy Christmas time It’s Christmas time… Andrew Smith Songwriting, Mix & Master, Vocals, Piano, Organ, Harmonica, synths Dean W (Rockingham, Australia):Drums Jim (Windsor England) Bass My Wife and kids: for smiling knowingly whenever I try to sneak this into the Christmas play list My Dear old Mum: for always saying this is her favourite and for whom I removed any rude words!
