Thread Name: Any November Songs?
Subject: RE: Any November Songs?
Has anyone suggested Loiudon Wainwright III's "Suddenly It's Christmas."
Suddenly it's Christmas, right after Hallowe'en Forget about Thanksgiving, it's just a buffet in between There's lights & tinsel in the window they're stocking up the shelves Santa's slaving at the North Pole in his sweatshop full of elves
There's got to be a build-up to the day that Christ was born The halls are decked with pumpkins and ears of Indian corn Dragging through the falling leaves in a one-horse open sleigh Suddenly it's Christmas seven weeks before the day
Suddenly it's Christmas, the longest holiday When they say 'Season's Greetings', they mean just what they say It's a season, it's a marathon, retail eternity And it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree
Outside it's positively balmy, in the air nary a nip Suddenly it's Christmas, unbuttoned and unzipped Yes, they're working overtime, Santa's little runts Christmas comes but once a year and goes on for two months
Christmas carols in December and November too It's no wonder we're depressed when the whole thing is through Finally it's January; let's sing Auld Lang Syne But here comes another party shaped just like a Valentine
Suddenly it's Christmas the longest holiday The season is upon us, a pox, it won't go away It's a season, it's a marathon, retail eternity And it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree No it's not over 'til it's over and you throw away the tree Iat's still not over 'til it's over nd you throw away the tree
