Bah Humbug Song

[SteveG]

Enjoyed Jackofall's seaside parody, so thought I would put this this one up. No guitar on here, and no MBR apart from the vocal. Sequenced it using a DAW called Muzies, a VST Hammond and a soundfont for the bells. Drums are EzDrummer. I did it for the Xmas MP3 contest on Guitarblast. Been trying to teach myself to build tracks for a while, so decided to kill two birds with one stone.... Think I need some better sounding instruments!

SeteveG and all the other singing guys - I have a a small request:
can you please, put the lyrics with the song?

I'm not good enough in english to understand entire song just by listening yet and that would help me a lot! I belive not only me.

[SteveG]

Cheers guys. I have been around Jim, been listening to your stuff via email, but have not been playing or recording much, bit of a down time Getting back to it now, just finished a drumtrack for a Girlschool cover which I hope to get done tonight.

Bydle, dont have the lyrics on disc, but I will post them as soon as I get the chance. Her turn on this soon ... Myspace .... Grrrrrrrr

Bah Humbug song...

I just cant believe, that its Christmas eve
Putting up the trimmings and the Christmas tree
Go to bed, get some sleep, hardly even had a peep
Kids are jumping up and down on me.
I cant take no more, and its only half past four
Can we cancel Christmas please.

Their all going mad, for the presents that they've had
Wonder what they got for me
Several pairs of socks, cheap CD of classic rock
And a hand knitted jersey
Think I'll give it all away, maybe sell it on EbAy
Can we cancel Christmas please.

Chorus.. Bah bah humbug (etc)

Sausages for Xmas lunch, because of the credit crunch
Cant afford to buy turkey
Table wine is far too dear, wash it down with lots of beer
Dont think that agreed with me
Curled up on the floor, dont think I can eat no more
Can we cancel Xmas please

Bridge...

Xmas comes but once a year, Yuletide blessings festive cheer
People waiting for the day, I just wish it would go away!

Oh no here we go, here comes Aunty Flo
See her bearing down on me
Quick peck on the cheek, oh my God her perfume reeks
Why cant she just leave me be?
Same thing every year, wish to hell I wasn't here
Can we cancel Xmas please?

There goes Uncle Jim, he's been on the gin
Crashed out under the Xmas tree
And my cousin Ron, underneath the miseltone
All the girls pretend they cant see
Why cant he just see, he's plain ugly
Can we cancel Xmas please?

Chorus..

Now they've all gone home, were here on our own
Kids are in bed just her and me
Grab another can of beer, tell her to come over here
Cuddled up in front of the TV
Then my spirits sag, she tells me she's on the rag
Can we cancel Xmas please

Bridge....

Wish we could just cancel Xmas......

Totally brilliant! Thanks for posting the lyrics as well - I'm a Brit but have pretty bad hearing, so it helps me make them out.

Cheers,

Nigel
