Blog Caroling

For the first time, I am joining other Geneabloggers in their tradition of blog caroling. From the comfort of my blog, with my fruit juice in hand, my jammies and slippers on, I am sharing my favorite Christmas Carol with you.   (And believe me, I sing so much better online than in person!)

Ho, Ho, Ho, And A Bottle Of Rum

Artist:  Jimmy Buffett

(Lyrics by:  Jimmy Buffett and Ross Kunkel)

Santa's stressed out as the holiday season draws near
He's been doing the same job now going on two thousand years
He's got pains in his brain and chimney scars cover his buns
He hates to admit it, but Christmas is more work than fun (Awwww....)
He needs a vacation from bad decorations and snow
Mr. Claus has escape plans, a secret that only he knows
Beaches and palm trees appear night and day in his dreams
A break from his wife, his half frozen life
the elves and that damn reindeer team

Hey!

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
He thinks about boat drinks and fun in the sun
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Plastic creations and crass exploitations aren't good
He wants to go back to simple toys made out of wood
Just for the weekend he'd like to be Peter Pan
Get out of his long johns and dance with a sword... dance with a sword in the sand

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
Marimbas, calimbas, he's playing steel drums
Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum
Santa's run off to the Caribbean
A week in the tropics and he'll be all right
Sporting a tan as he rides out of sight

Merry Christmas to all and to all "Good Night"!

(He'll be back in a week
Don't worry, Kiddies!
Just a break... we all need a break.)
