Eddie Mugavero: music

Once I decided it was OK for me to write Christmas songs, I couldn't stop. I might've performed this once with BadaBing after a few eggnogs, but could barely get thru it as we were all laughing so hard. I absolutely must record this soon, if for nothing else, than to put in my family's stockings this year...afterall, they inspired it! haha ;)

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS WHEN THE SNOW IS FALLING
AND OLD FRIENDS ARE CALLING
CAUSE THEY'RE WISHIN' THEY WERE WITH YOU
THE KIDS AIN'T SLEEPIN' AND THEY CAN'T STOP PEEKING
AT THE STOCKINGS AND THE BOXES THAT
THEY'RE HOPING THEY CAN OPEN SOON..

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS
UNCLE JOE IS FALLIN'
AUNTIE MO IS BAWLIN'
CAUSE SHE'S THINKIN' THAT HE'S DRINKIN'
AND THE DOG AIN'T PERKY CAUSE HE JUST ATE THE TURKEY
AND THE DRESSIN' MADE A MESS AND DID HIS
BUSINESS BY THE TREE

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS WHEN YOUR REDNECK BROTHER
STARTS CUSSIN' OUT YOUR MOTHER
THROWIN' PUNCHES AT YOUR POP
YOU DRANK ALL THE BEER UP BUT TELL THE GANG TO CHEER UP
AND LIKE A DRUNK DEER MAKE A BEER RUN TO THE QUICK-STOP

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS WHEN THE COPS ARE PISSED
BECAUSE THEY GOTTA WORK THIS SHIFT IN A STUPID SANTA SUIT
THEY PUT YOU IN A CELL WITH A VERY HAPPY FELLOW
WHO'S WINKIN' AT YOU THINKIN' THAT
YOU'RE LOOKIN' MIGHTY CUTE

YOU KNOW IT'S CHRISTMAS WHEN YOU SPEND THE NIGHT IN JAIL AND YOUR FAMILY WON'T BAIL YOU
CAUSE YOU NEED TO LEARN A LESSON...
AND THEN GRANDMA SLIPS AND SHE BREAKS HER OTHER HIP
AND THE TREE BURNS DOWN
AND THE BANK FORECLOSES ON YOUR HOUSE
IT'S CHRISTMAS AND NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER
AT LEAST WE'RE ALL TOGETHER THOUGH WE HAVEN'T GOT A DIME
PEACE, GOOD WILL, AND ALL THAT OTHER CRAP
CAUSE WE SURVIVED ANOTHER CHRISTMAS TIME
