lyrics

Christmas Present is Past

The Governor of Christmas
Calls his close friends
Sitting by the fire
On a cold December Eve
He says “Judgement Day is here” 

He said he’d called to save them all from trying
To spread the cheer
But they’d already heard
the word had made it down to New Orleans 

So pour a dram of brandy
And grab your cane of candy
Angels sing on high just to receive 

A call from your pal Santy!
but now the world’s so lost and frantic
the end of days is coming

Because no one believes..

In Chocolate, Trees, and Gumdrop Dreams
The Apocalypse is coming
So come home please baby lie with me
That drummer boy is still drummin' in me

You got a lamp last christmas
from your boyfriend
and you lost the joy
Now that Christmas present is past
I guess nothing good can last 

The Christmas spirit died
and went to toy land
way up in the sky
Cuz we took it all for granted
Now the world is in a panic
we’re doomed for all time

So pour a dram of brandy
And grab that cane of candy
We used to sing on high just to receive 

Oh dasher dancer and prancer
may no longer hold the answer
the end of days is comin'

Because no one believes..

In Chocolate, Trees, and Gumdrop Dreams
The Apocalypse is coming
So come home please, baby lie with me
That drummer boy is still drummin’ in me 

in Chocolate, Trees, and Gumdrop Dreams
The Apocalypse is coming
So come home please, baby lie with me
That drummer boy is still drummin' within me.

...

In loving memory of George Walford
