Kerchingle Bells - a cynical christmas song!

[bruno]

Well - it's that time of year again, and I hate the commercial christmas. The somewhat cynical and warped lyrics by Mrs B.  

Hope you enjoy - my first time in front of the mike!

Kerchingle-bells

Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Shop to save the economy – buy plastic junk today, hey!
Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Please buy rubbish, junk and trash then throw it all away!

Dashing to the shops is the only thing to do,
To Parkway we flock – sheeple through and through!
Tills they trill and ring, even though we're skint.
Oh what fun to spend, spend, spend –
Don't be an old skinflint!

Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Shop to save the economy – buy plastic junk today, hey!
Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Please buy rubbish, junk and trash then throw it all away!

Don't fret about your cash, just use your credit card!
Blow the lot on trash – please don't think too hard!
Just buy some stuff to waste, what else is Christmas for?
Forget about the little babe, swaddled in the straw...

Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Shop to save the economy – buy plastic junk today, hey!
Kerchingle-bells, Kerchingle-bells,
Kerchingle all the way!
Please buy rubbish, junk and trash then throw it all away!

Oh you've been holding out on us Mr B! Another dynamic duo, Mr & Mrs B, nice one guys 

[Hook]

Sounds great bruno, why have you been sending me tracks this whole time
Think I'll go buy some plastic crap, you've inspired me!
Rock On!

Excellent Christmas parody, Bruno! Brilliant lyrics and a great arrangement. Well done.

[Gnasty]

I make it a rule not to be festive till December 1! But in this case you sure got me in the mood.

Mrs. B wrote some great lyrics here and it`s great to hear you Bruno. I say sing more. You have a fine voice to my ears.

Great work!!

[Burtog]

Nice...........that lo-fi piano sound is cool. Good version, great lyrics B.

Hi all.
Thanks for listening and commenting! I was worried that this may be a null-pointer. 

Mrs B wrote these lyrics a while back. She mainly writes fantasy, and some poetry - not sure who came up with Kerchingle Bells, but she went away and wrote the lyrics - I think Jan this year. We went shopping last yesterday, and they were playing jingle bells, so had to do it. Tried to get Mazz to sing it, but she point blank refused - so it was down to me! Its not a question of confidence or anything like that (well perhaps a little) - its just that I don't like the sound of my own voice, but I could disguise this one just enough!

I'll prefer to leave the singing to the people who can (Hook - you the man!) - this is just for fun. :-)

I wanted it to sound kinda tired and rather jaded (it has a blues beat) - coz I find christmas tired and jaded (perhaps I'm turning into a miserable old git!). The piano sound was on the GR-20, nicely out of tune  

Anywaz, I hope it put a smile on you faces - I was particularly pleased with the sheep sounds, christmas shopping in the UK is a cattle market to say the least!
