Tony Chapman and The Big Event
The Christmas (New Year) Song
1).
what with global warming, hurricanes, tsunamis droughts, floods, earthquakes, wars
the news is always sad, the news is always bad but even us, with all our flaws
can celebrate this new year because, phew! we are all still here!
CHORUS:
Santa and his reindeer … are flying through the galaxy, Christmas presents trailing, behind them endlessly gifts for every planet in the whole universe
raise our smiles to heaven, lets all be of good cheer
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
2).
we’ve been riding the range, across a cactus prairie rounding up the cattle of our lives
Just like the Lone Ranger, on his horse called “Silver” under massive, unbroken, blue skies
we’re as powerful as a lion, nimble as a deer
CHORUS:
Santa and his reindeer …are flying through the galaxy, Christmas presents trailing, behind them endlessly, gifts for every planet in the whole universe
let’s wave our cowboy hats, as our horses rear
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
3).
we started out crawling, stood and started walking now we drive the sports-car of our souls
speed must not broken, but if the road is open lets drive to the light, out of our holes
you are in the driving seat, its you who can steer,
Santa and his reindeer …are flying through the galaxy, Christmas presents trailing, behind them endlessly, gifts for every planet in the whole universe
lets put our foot down, take it up a gear
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
BRIDGE:
you planned, you guessed, you wished, you gazed, deep into your crystal ball,
visualised the future, imagined it to be true, tried so hard to see it all
now your dreams of tomorrow, today they are here …
4).
whatever you were scheming, protection you were weaving, take off your armour, let it all go
no more animosity, you don’t need an enemy, no more suspicion, we don’t need a foe
there’s no need for worry, no need for fear
CHORUS:
Santa and his reindeer … are flying through the galaxy, Christmas presents trailing, behind them endlessly, gifts for every planet in the whole universe
no need for cynicism, wipe off that bitter sneer
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
5).
you may be overseas, in a foreign country, wishing you were home again,
or working late on some … urgent, business matter, or caught in a snowdrift or in rain
even if they are far away, at Christmas, your loved ones are near
CHORUS:
Santa and his reindeer … are flying through the galaxy, Christmas presents trailing, behind them endlessly, gifts for every planet in the whole universe
let everybody shed a happy tear
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
