Christmas Eve, or Three Drunken Nights

[ODH]

A song celebrating the values, the warmth, the bloody-minded indulgence and excess of the traditional British Christmas.

The backer was actually done last Christmas, but the lyrics weren't and it's taken nearly all year to finish.  I'll post the lyrics in the morning.

By the way I've never actually had a Jaeger Bomb.  And I don't have a cousin called Dave (to the best of my knowledge)

Enjoy.

and Merry Xmas

 

Christmas Eve
Gathering all round the Christmas tree
Warm by the fire when it's
Cold outside
With the smell of pine
Yeah it's Christmas time.

Christmas Eve
Spend with good friends and with family
Time for mince pies and a
Drink       or      three
It's a special night
.....   are you joining me?

Oh but the vodka, the whiskey, the wine
And I've not been this drunk for some time
And I'm losing track
And there's no turning back

Oh but the whiskey the vodka the beer and the gin
But where are my mates?
Oh they're here and they're bringing the
Jaeger bombs
Oh the Jaeger bombs
And the vodka tequila
And I love you
I'm gonna be sick...

-------—

Christmas Day
opening presents
new games to play
new socks and pyjamas
the kids outside
with the icicles
On their new bicycles

Christmas Day
Feeling so warm in that special way
Hair of the dog then it's dinner time
With a sparkling wine
Yes it's Christmas time

Oh but the champagne, the port, the wine
- Oh and let's drink a toast to old times
And it's coming back
Then we're back on track

Oh but the whiskey the vodka the beer and the gin
The family's here
Joining in and they're bringing the
Jaeger bombs
Oh the Jaeger bombs
And the vodka tequila
And I love you
I'm gonna be sick...

-------—

Boxing Day
Tidy the house
Put the games away
Quietly sit with a
T  V  brunch
Then the relatives
Coming round for lunch

(uh-oh)

Boxing day
One little beer with my cousin Dave
Not seen these folks since this time last year
Beer breaks the ice
Gin will add some spice

Oh and then dinner with wine and then port
Then a couple of long drinks then short
Then it's on again
Better strap yourself in...

Oh but the whiskey the vodka the beer and the gin
And everyone's here
And we're singing and downing the
Jaeger bombs
Oh the Jaeger bombs
And the vodka tequila
And I love you
I'm gonna be sick...

Love it, Nick,
So so true...

Well done pal.

Yeah... this pretty much sums it up for me. I enjoy Xmas Eve night more than the big day itself. You captured the mood perfectly here!

Very well said and done Nick. The last few years we've extended it by one day with a Christmas Eve Eve night out with friends and the rest just follows............oh my aching head!

Damn , this had me in stiches. Off the wall in the best of ways!!!
Rock on!

[Hook]

Back again...might be the best Christmas song ever.
Rock on!

[Mach]

might be the best Christmas song ever.

Awesome. The distant reverb as it accelerates upward gives it that closing in vibe of Christmas anxiety. Reminded me of Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation when he finds out his Christmas bonus is just a jelly of the month coupon. I would want booze for the blooze too
