Santa's helper's back story

Lyrics

Christmas Cheer
© 2008 Tim Moyer

Tis the time of year when no one knows my name
I slip on that big red suite, cover all my shame
It's the only job I know. I never finished school
Once a each year I play Santa Claus, the youngins think I'm cool

Come 'round nine O clock the stores are closing down
So I walk down the block to the best bar in town
Where all my good friends pass another round

Ring in the holiday ring in the New Year
Bring me a 5th of scotch bring me another beer
Ring in the holiday ring in the year
I'm gonna sit right here and drink myself some good old Christmas Cheer

When I got home last night my lady laughed at me
She told me get a real job she knows she could do better than me
So I slipped out the door and ran back to the bar
Wearing these black shiny boots will only get me so far

I get there 3 AM the bar is all closed up
I'm pounding on the door, but the bar keep won't wake up.
I scream, one whisky aint enough

Ring in the holiday ring in the New Year
Bring me a 5th of scotch bring me another beer
Ring in the holiday ring in the year
I'm gonna sit right here and drink myself some good old Christmas Cheer

Should I take my girls advice
'cuz every good man has his price
Then it came to me
I'm not ashamed to be
Delivering those Christmas dreams tonight

Ring in the holiday ring in the New Year
Bring me a 5th of scotch bring me another beer
Ring in the holiday ring in the year
I'm gonna sit right here and drink myself some good old Christmas Cheer

This is my holiday
This year will be my year
Bring me some Dom Perignon 'cuz now it's crystal clear
This is my holiday
This year will be my year
Come on and sit right here on Santa's lap and whisper in my ear
Come on and sit right here on Santa's lap and whisper in my ear
