** NOTE. I POSTED THIS AS A DEVIL'S TOUPEE SONG, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER MY OWN NAME, DARRENG, I CANNOT WORKOUT HOW TO CHANGE IT ?SORRY **

This is a Christmas song that came into my head quickly as i was driving home, i wanted it to be in the style of the older 50's 60's jazz, crooner style Christmas songs.
I asked a musician friend i know, Terry Wigmore if he would sing the vocals, as that type of style is what he is good at.
Thanks for listening and Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN

1. Well it's Christmas time again,
the kids have written all their Christmas lists
Carolers singing at the door,
You pull a cracker and you try to grab a kiss
under the mistletoe,
you look out the window and its starting to snow
And Oh! What a happy - a happy feeling when its Christmas time


Well it's time when children expect to see
That Jolly Old Elf comin' down that, that chimney tonight!

2. Well it's Christmas time again,
The kids have got their gifts
They're busy with candy canes
So you pull a cracker and you try to grab a kiss
under the mistletoe
You build a snowman in the snow,
And Oh! what a happy, a happy feeling when its Christmas time

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Well it's time when children expect to see
That Jolly Old Elf comin' down that, that chimney tonight!

3. Well it's Christmas time again,
The kids have gone to bed
There's nothing under the tree
So you grab a kiss from under that mistletoe,
You look out the window and its starting to snow
And Oh! What a happy, oh what a happy feeling tonight

And Oh! What a happy, hmmm so very happy
Oh! What a hap-py-- Christmas tonight!

This is some great holiday songwriting here Darren! You hit the mark of writing and producing a song in the 60's holiday jazz style. With your friend's vocal style, this sounds like a long lost Bobby Darin Christmas song. It's an instant classic. Well done to both of you!

The singing is very good, and the song as a whole is well constructed and jazzy.

Ooh, you're going all out for the Christmas number one! Very smooth and with a lovely jazzy feel this works really well. Terry's vocal is superb, really well done and beautiful control in his voice and phrasing. I can see Jamie Cullum doing this one on a Christmas special..... :D

Now this is how you write a Xmas song going right to the Christmas play list

Very professional! Could be right out of a hit movie score! Very sublime vibe and production.
