Coal in the Stocking Blues.mp3

LYRICS
Have you been a good little girl or boy?
Now you want Santa to bring you a toy
Have you been good the whole year through
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues

I heard people talking
They said it’s shocking
Jaw dropping
Eye popping
Been good the whole year through… well, have you?
Or, I’ll have bad news
Coal in the stocking blues

Strum they told me
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
A new born king has come
Stru, stru, stru, stru, strum
Break that guitar out of your gunny sack
And give that axe a whack

LYRICS
Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’
Chorus

Hard to believe
Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”

LYRICS
This is God to Earth.
Come in Earth.

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: When I grow up I want to be an elf.
[the Earthlings sing]
When I grow up I want to be an elf
Not all wrapped up in myself
Not all tied-up in myself
Rather make a toy for every girl and boy
I’d rather bring that Christmas Joy, enjoy
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

Not that stooge for the Scrooge
Not the snitch for the Grinch
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

What do you want to be when you grow up
Do you want to be something? Stand up
What do you want to be when you grow up
Something stand up or throw-up
A toy for every girl and boy
Or hurl for every boy and girl
What do you want to be when you grow up?

Inspired by Hermey the Elf in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Head Elf: Hermey! Aren’t you finished painting that yet? There’s a pile-up a mile wide behind you! What’s eatin’ ya, boy?
Hermey: Not happy with my work, I guess.
Head Elf: What?
Hermey: [sadly] I just don’t like to make toys.
Head Elf: Oh, well, if that’s all… What? You don’t like to make toys?
Hermey: [sadly again] Nnno.
Head Elf: [to the other elves] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys!
Elves: [whispering to each other, then chorusing to Hermey] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys. Shame on him!
Head Elf: Do you mind telling me what you do want to do?
Hermey: Well, sir, someday, I’d like to be a… a dentist.
Head Elf: A – dentist?

Had a vision of you
Didn’t know if it’d come true
Had a vision of you
Didn’t know when it’d come true

Now it’s easy to see…
Now it’s easy for me…
Now it’s easy to see…
See right through

In the dream
You cleansed the mean
In the dream
The mean come clean

The burden of a son to carry

When the date you’re due
Becomes Christmas Day, too

Man depends on your delivery

The savior of women and men
Giving life again and again

Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

LYRICS
Trying to find a piece of peace on Earth
Going to behold the old at The Birth
Less control over soul
More will to wield freewill

Radiating a kind of kind love, my Love
Feeling it in our spirit, endear it
May the goodwill instill
Less control over soul

Get out of control with your gift of giving
Head out of the sand embrace the living
Less control over soul
More will to wield freewill
May the goodwill instill
Less control over soul

LYRICS
On my back I lie
Gazing into the sky
Heard something absurd
Try to figure out why

Angels on high
Bring a tear to the eye
Angels on high
Make me cry…
Tears of joy
Enjoy and deploy
Rejoice in tears of happiness

To my feet I rise
An eager eye prise
Once I realize
The scope of surprise
(The hope in surprise)

To my knee I fall
Bowed head and all
Humbled by the Spirit
Pray tell… can you hear it?

LYRICS
I’m on a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am
Cold all day in a winter desert way
Over the rough terrain
How to remain sane?
Long, cold, hard road
On a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am
At night, the ground will freeze
No such thing as a tropical breeze

Long, cold, hard road
Nazareth to Bethlehem
Not a splinter in winter
Not a splinter of sunlight
It’s cold in the rain at night
Cold in the rain
How to remain sane?
I’m on a long, cold, hard road to Bethlehem
Yes, I am

Get to making bells ring
Come join in the celebration

Feel what your heart can bring

Appears that star is not as far
Head into the light
The one with the tail that’s shinning bright
Head into the light

Pack some frankincense and myrrh
Head for the son that will endure
Bring some gold and maybe more
Head for the light that will endure

Chorus

Not sure how wise that I am
But I’d really love to be a wiseman
Traveling near or traveling far
Following that funky star

Chorus

I could be off a bit… maybe it’s a comet?
Still working on “the wiseman”
Nevertheless, appears heaven sent
Miraculous omnipresent luminescent

Do you know
If it’ll snow
And if so
Can we go
Dashing, dashing, dashing
To the show

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year
Goodwill! Good cheer!

Silent night, holy night
All is right under the spirit’s light
With a heave and a ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Come they told me pa rum papa pum
Come they told me and play your drum
With a heave and a ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Ho, ho, here we go gliding through the snow
On the way we say “Happy holiday!”
Ho, ho, here we go gliding through the snow
On the way we sing a caroling thing

A nod to Feliz Navidad
And, ooooh! O Tannenbaum
What do you do where you come from?
Where to begin… what’s your country of origin?

Then, again…
Why order a border?
For what it’s worth, we’re all from Earth!
What’s your rock of origin? Bring it home again! What’s your rock of origin?

LYRICS
All the leaves have fallen
Have we already forgotten
Winter has yet to start
Yet, we feel cold at heart

The cold-hearted started
There’s no room in the inn
Ain’t that a sin?
The cold-hearted started
Why did you bother to come?
Go back to where you’re from!

The days are growing shorter
Cold nights for the squatter
Those that roam far from home
Are left to feel on their own

For those that try and try
Yet, others wish to die
Why condemn the tried?
You’ve tried and crucified
