Full Lyrics: Andy Eppler's Traditional Christmas
Andy Eppler’s Traditional Christmas (Full Lyrics):
Traditional Christmas:
Well there once was a cave man long long time ago
He would pray to the sun, “pleased drive away the snow”
And the sun would listen, at least for all the caveman would know
Well the days would get longer around the same time every year
And the caveman would notice and it’d drive away his fear
Yeah he thought that he could pray right into the sun’s ear
Yeah, he threw a big party so the sun would always return
You can’t blame the caveman for things he couldn’t learn
He couldn’t know for sure that the sun was still gonna burn
This season is a good time to party
I think that’s what our ancestors would say
This season is a good time to party
And that’s good enough to keep us partying today
Well his children’s children, they all prayed to the sun
Until their holiday was replaced by a Roman one
But they still got to party and have all of their fun
Yeah, the head of the church was the emperor back then
And he didn’t much like all the partying and sin
Yeah, he wanted to replace it with a manger and an inn
They took the cave holiday and claimed it for their own
And they made it law with their righteous Roman throne
Cause there’s more than one way to live under a stone
Working for Christmas:
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
That’s the state my economy is in
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
Bout the time they’re waking up I’m clocking in
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
There’ll be no presents under my tree
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
I guess that’s how much time and a half really means to me
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
There’ll be no drinking hot cocoa
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
I’ll grab a thirty-minute lunch and I’ll have to go
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
That’s the state my economy is in
I’ll be working at my bullshit job for Christmas
Bout the time they’re waking up I’m clocking in
Christmas is a Good Excuse:
Whatever your reason for the season
Whatever it is you choose
Yeah, whatever you say about this beautiful day
Christmas is a good excuse
Christmas is a good time to be kind to your friends
To get together and make amends
To take each other by the hand
and wish well for your fellow man
Christmas is a good time to call up your folks
To have a drink and tell your jokes
It’s a good excuse to be
Loving to everyone you see
Christmas is a time to feel warm inside
To remember those who have died
And celebrate that we still live
That’s the reason we want to give
Christmas is a time to take a sip
Of cheer and leave a tip
Cause we can disagree and still
wish everyone peace and good will
