And I'm hoping some of you have some examples on songs to share that are not the usual Christmas Carols. Shotgun Shells on a Christmas Tree By Robin and Linda Williams "Merry Christmas to All and Goodnight" by John Doyle |

Last year, I posted recordings of three (northern hemisphere) winter solstice songs to SoundCloud. The playlist includes these songs:
Songsheets (lead sheets with music and lyrics) for those three songs and about half a dozen more that I consider suitable for the solstice can be found on my web site, in the section called The cycle of the seasons. Howard Kaplan Songwriter and occasional performer Toronto, Ontario, Canada |

A CHRISTMAS PIE STORY April Caesar/Trish Santer 1. Grumpy's no' Happy 'cos Bashful's too shy, And Sleepy and Sneezy have eaten his pie, A pie he was saving for his Christmas Day, But Sneezy and Sleepy just took it away, Dopey and Doc said "Don't be so sad, As Sneezy and Sleepy are just plain bad". CHORUS: Christmas pie, Christmas pie, Oh what a stramash over one Christmas pie. 2. Then in comes Snow White with a tray on her arm, She's smiling and dancing and full of such charm, She lifts off the cover, and to their surprise Reveals she has brought only FIVE Christmas pies. For Sneezy and Grumpy you'll see there are nane - They'll no be sae wicked tae Grumpy again. CHORUS 3. The moral of this story is don't be a thief, Don't eat your pal's pies, or you'll soon come to grief, Now Sneezy and Sleepy are off in a huff, As Snow White has told them "Hey guys, that's enough". While Dopey and Doc, even Bashful so shy, And Happy and Grumpy tuck into their pie. CHORUS |

23 Dec 15 - 09:50 AM (#3760475) Subject: Lyr Add: CHRISTMAS PEACE (Trish Santer) From: Tattie Bogle And now the very serious one: I completed the first draft of this the day before the Paris attacks, so I did change some of verse 4 in response to that. It is always very sad when some disaster, whether natural or man-made occurs, whatever season, but these events do seem to happen with some regularity close to Christmas. CHRISTMAS PEACE ©Trish Santer 1. Christmas comes but once a year, And 'tis said, it brings good cheer, but Far too often, that's not so, As my Christmas list will show. CHORUS: Here I make my Christmas wish Don't need cards or fancy gifts, Just to be with family and friends, I want world peace that never ends. Peace on Earth at Christmas, Christmas peace on Earth. 2. No tsunami, no earthquake, Nor the devastation that these can make, No more plane crashes, sinking boats, No more pointless deaths on roads. CHORUS 3. No more poverty, beggars on street, No need for food banks to let people eat, No more posturing, no more lies, Truthful politicians would be a surprise. CHORUS 4. No more ISIS, no more wars, No more bombs to settle old scores, No more refugees needing to flee From the horror in their own country. CHORUS |

Fuck holly and fuck ivy and fuck all that mistletoe, Stupid fucking Christmas songs everywhere you go, And bloated big fat bastards all going "Ho-ho-ho." It's fucking Christmas time again. Fuck Christmas; it's a fucking Disney show. Fuck turkey, and fuck all that fucking snow. Fuck reindeer and fuck Rudolph with his stupid fucking nose, Fucking sleigh bells ringing everywhere you fucking goes. Fuck stockings and fuck shopping; it just drives us all insane.

We all know what his problem is - Christmas is the time of giving, and he doesn't want to give. He should donate $25 - 100 - 1000 to a good charity. Help hungry kids, help the illiterate learn to read, or help abused families. Then he'll be able to hold his head up high and stop grousing. He doesn't have to celebrate, he doesn't have to decorate. But he'd feel better if he accepted the role of the decent, civilized resident of the western world. |

24 Nov 16 - 08:57 PM (#3822563) Subject: RE: New and Different Christmas songs From: Tattie Bogle Leeneia, you have to see that in context: Eric Idle was one of the wonderful totally off-the-wall comedy group that made up the "Monty Python" team , so you need to see it in terms of the sort of comedy that was around in the the UK in the late 1960s/early 1970s, long before anyone ever coined the term "political correctness" which has sanitised so much of what anyone can now say. There wasn't much of it about then, but we had some of the best comedy programmes ever in that era. You think he needs to "man up": I think you need to " lighten up"! |

25 Nov 16 - 03:33 AM (#3822585) Subject: RE: New and Different Christmas songs From: Jim Carroll One that often used to be rolled out every year at The Singer's Club Jim Carroll THE BALLAD OF THE CARPENTER (1954) Jesus was a working man, A hero you shall hear; Born in the slums of Bethlehem At the turning of the year, Yes, the turning of the year. When Jesus was a little boy The streets rang with his name, For he argued with the aldermen And he put 'em all to shame, Yes, he put them all to shame. His father he apprenticed him A carpenter to be, To plane and drill and work with skill In the town of Galilee, Yes, the town of Galilee. He became a roving journeyman And he wandered far and wide, And he saw how wealth and poverty Live always side by side, Yes, always side by side. He said, 'Come all you working men, You farmers and weavers, too; If you will only organise, The world belongs to you, Yes, the world belongs to you.' So the fishermen sent two delegates And the farmers and weavers, too; And they formed a working committee of twelve To see the struggle through, Yes, to see the struggle through. When the rich men heard what the carpenter had done, To the Roman troops they ran; Saying 'Put this rebel, Jesus, down, He's a menace to God and man, Yes, a menace to God and man.' The commander of the occupying troops, He laughed and then he said: 'There's a cross to spare on Calvary Hill, By the weekend he'll be dead, Yes, by the weekend he'll be dead.' Now, Jesus walked among the poor For the poor were his own kind; And they wouldn't let the cops get near enough To take him from behind, Yes, to take him from behind. So they hired a man of the traitor's trade And a stool pigeon was he; And he sold his brother to the butcher's men For a fistful of silver money, A fistful of money. Jesus lay in the prison cell. They beat him and offered him bribes To desert the cause of his own poor folk And work for the rich men's tribe, Yes, work for the rich men's tribe. The sweat stood out upon his brow And the blood was in his eye, And they nailed his body to the Roman cross And they laughed as they watched him die, Yes, they laughed as they watched him die. Two-thousand years have passed and gone And many a hero, too; And the dream of this poor carpenter, It's time it was coming true, Yes, it's time it was coming true. |

Oh dear Santa, if you've got 'em send me bullets and a shell. Last night Daddy smacked my bottom, send a hand- grenade as well. I've seen the toys upon the telly, Tommy Gun and Action Man, Lower gently down my chimney something nuclear if you can. Battleships and radar scanners, missile, bomb and limpet mine, Grandma says I've got no manners – she can be the next in line. Send some crackers trimmed with holly for Uncle Fred on Boxing Night, He's the one who's ever so jolly – fill 'em up with dynamite. My walking, talking robot Teddy, he can fire a lethal ray, Got my practice target ready – pussy scratched me yesterday. I don't want a plastic soldier, I don't want one made of wood, Now that I'm a little older I want one that bleeds real blood. Send for me a "Johnny Seven" – that's a gun that can't go wrong, I'll send Grandad off to heaven – he's been waiting far too long. I peeped in to say Goodnight and as I heard my child in prayer, I put away his Christmas presents – gold and frankincense and myrrh. Christmas is a time for loving not to play that killing game, I built myself a fallout shelter – wouldn't you have done the same? |

Chorus. Christmas in Australia is Christmas in paradise, Christmas in Australia is basically, 'Bloody Nice', Bruce goes steady with Sheila, and Sheila goes steady with Bruce, And if you don't have a Christmas suntan, you're a 'Pommie' and you ain't no use It's ninety in the shade at Christmas, the sun's a blazing 'phew', So grab a tube of Foster's and a slice of cold kangaroo. Bruce is waxing his surf board, and waxing his Shiela too, It's a great Australian Christmas, ya-hoo. Chorus. It was a lovely sunny Christmas, we had a party on the beach, Sang Australian carols, you should have heard us screech. Our 'Silent Night' was a burst of light and the likes are heard only seldom, Of 'Once In Royal Bruce's City', in a little town called Melbourne. Chorus. Bruce and Sheila disappeared round the far side of the truck, They were gone for quite some time, we shouted, "Are you stuck?" Then I had a bright idea, said, "I know what I'll do, I'll play 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful' on Bruce's didgeridoo. Chorus As the afternoon wore on everyone got paralytic, A drunken brawl developed from a friendly game of cricket. Rolf Harris turned up finally to distract us from our combat, By painting a lovely picture of Rudolf the Red Nosed Wombat. Chorus. |

Santa Claus was livid, said it caused a lot of strain here We’ve just a few days left to train another reindeer Rudolph unrepentant said it’s damaging me hooves Dragging that old geezer up and down these icy roofs. The other reindeer said that it’s a rebellion of sorts And the elves shut down the sweatshop to demonstrate support. A new recruit was introduced to Dancer, Prancer, Vixen Comet, Cupid, Dasher, … Donner and Blitzen They snootily enquired: “What’s he call you, little one?” Well Santa said that he thought that he might call me “Venison” That word appeared to cause some consternation in the team “That name is not as innocent as it at first might seem. If any one of us should prove unequal to the work, he’s … Planning to dispose of us like all those dozing turkeys.” Venison was oh so proud to pull that Yuletide sleigh Always at the forefront in the training for the day Decked in Christmas livery his head held high he’d trot He didn’t spot the butcher’s van parked outside the grotto Vixen was quite worried. “Santa’s got us in a trap.” Dasher wasn’t bothered, said: “He’s quite a nice old chap.” Dancer said “It’s just the way he looks at Venison. You get the feeling maybe he’s not vegetarian.” Vixen said “I’ve noticed what a very sound-proof barn this is. No one would hear if we were gnawing at the harnesses.” They did their Christmas duty, then on the homeward flight High above the North Pole, they split to left and right. The plan worked like a dream it is my duty to record it Santa and his sleigh were catapulted into orbit It was all down to that new reindeer. He was the guilty one, Misunderstanding Santa saying “Your name’s DENNIS, son.” |
