A Happy Copstache Christmas to All!

lyrics

Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas Song
I know I've got the reason for the season oh so wrong
But I ain't made no money and I've been playing for so long
Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas Song

Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas track
I know you've got a hot one buried somewhere in that sack
Took out loans to make my records now I gotta pay them back
Santa won't you bring me a hot Christmas track

Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas single
I know you know that sleigh bells ain't the only thing that jingles
One that gets the elves a dancin', heats up old Ms. Kringle
Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas single

My bank account was a pure as the fresh driven snow
And the dives are closed on Christmas Eve so I had no place to go
Me and my best girl were just laying in our bed
While visions of royalty checks, danced in our heads

Down on the block, there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
What should appear to my wondering eyes
But a miniature sleigh with eight Sony record execs inside

Well I've traveled this country in an Aerostar van
And I've still yet to meet my first A&R man
So I ran to the lawn with my demo in my hand
Shoutin' "Happy Christmas to All! Now won't you please please sign my band?"

The elves were all done up like Armani'ed up elves
And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself
Then laying a finger, alongside their nose
They ducked down their heads and did eight miniature lines of blow

The lead elf he said, ere they drove out of sight
"Seein' as its Christmas Eve I'll gift you some advice
The problem here is that your band sucks and you're old
Write you a Christmas song, them jawns are royalty gold"

Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas Song
I know I've got the reason for the season oh so wrong
But I ain't made no money and I've been playing for so long
Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas Song

Santa won't you bring me a hit Christmas Song
