Christmas Anthem
Gift Up was produced by Local Business Comedy.
Christmas Anthem written by Joey Clift
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
I’ll write you a carol, it will have a Christmas theme
It will be a Christmas anthem, jolly it will seem
It will rally all the children to wish for better gifts
And the jingle bells will jingle and boost morale throughout my shift
I'll write you a carol and I hope you won't resent
Because in your chimney stocking, you will find a new present
So kids don't be upset, that it's time for me to go
And so I say Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

Brand New Christmas Tree

Brand New Christmas Tree written by Joey Clift
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
I'll be the tinsel hanging,
Placed and thrown with the ornaments on an Evergreen
With The Presents Underneath
I'll be the warm oven that's making all the ginger bread
While you sit there and hate on your fruit cake
I’ll be the credit card that helps you afford a P S 4
Christmas gifts make the register go Ka-Ching
I'll be the hot chocolate that brings your favorite memories back as you're sitting there opening presents…
opening presents...
I'll be the magic corn and undo what gravity’s done to you...
You won't have to strain to fly into the sky
I'll be your big red coat buttoned up to keep out the snow
While the sleigh goes up and you’ll say Ho Ho Ho
I’m traveling so far and I’m giving all around
A cookie in my mouth
We'll fly over the sea and the kids will welcome me
With a brand new Christmas Tree
Where decorations change,
I’ll bring you candy canes
The Christmas Stockings Hang
And needles cover ground
Under our bare feet from this brand new Christmas Tree
Brand new Christmas Tree
Santa Is My Name
HoOo oOo…
Santa Is My Name
HoOo oOo…
Santa Is My Name
HoOo oOo…

This Workshop’s A Prison

This Workshop’s A Prison written by Stephen Perlstein
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
This workshop’s a prison
And these children aren’t your friends
Demanding thrills, gifts, twenty dollar bills
And the wrappings are ripped and then gutted again
And again
There’s deers at the launch ramps, decorated wreaths
And you may skate the grounds on fresh blades in blue knit gown
But elves are not permitted to leave
I know there’s a big world out there of colors more than red and green
In our wrapping room late last night
Bows were almost too bright to see
And I know that it’s not a holiday if it happens every night
Pretending there’s good will I’m scared of krampus
When you’re building by candlelight
What does it take to get egg nog in this place?
What does it take, how long must I make?

We Will Munch Gingerbreads

We Will Munch Gingerbreads written by Nick Gligor
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
I've got a workshop with lots of toys
Filling my sleigh up for good girls and boys
And I'm not coming home
Until Christmas is over
and I’m skipping the midnight mass
flying around the world for snacks
And I'm ho’ing at the top of my lungs
Descending these reindeer onto some roof
Some roof that isn’t mine
And we will munch gingerbreads when the night is finally done
Ho ho ho…
I wanted to walk through a house with treats
Unfortunately they had nothing to eat
And all the gingerbreads were gone when I went to the store
Because your parents just cannot bake, the cookies I eat at an alarming rate
and my hunger won’t be put on hold,
So no gifts for you
And that’s why kids get coal
(And it won’t be silent night)
And we will munch gingerbreads when the night is finally done
Ho ho ho…
And we will munch gingerbreads when the night is finally done
Ho ho ho…
And we will munch gingerbreads when the night is finally done
Ho ho ho…
And we will munch gingerbreads when the night is finally done
Ho ho ho…
And we will munch
And we will munch

Clark Griswold

Clark Griswold written by Stephen Perlstein
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
I was shopping in a Chi-town mall looking for an Under-Gown when it struck me
That I've been waiting since March to find a tree that I’d cut down... like the movie
So I changed my plans, hopped into the family Station Wagon and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that it's Christmas time again" you said “Do I need to?”
I want so badly to believe that “it’s the truth, that Claus is real"
And I want cheer in every word, an ornament and a blizzard
I got a gift, a jelly of the month club card, I reached my limit!
The eve it called for snow but it is clear today so I'm angry
My brain had snapped and I yelled "drum roll on the street" and then yelled "hit it!"
And I light you in a style that Clark Griswold would have admired (That movie’s classic)
I want so badly to believe that “it’s the truth, that Claus is real"
And I want cheer in every word, an ornament and a blizzard
I know budgets are tight this year, but do you ever get the fear
That you'll be kidnaped despite the yule I want my bonus I want a new pool.
I want my bonus I want a new pool.

Recycled Gifts

Recycled Gifts written by Nick Gligor
Produced and Mixed by Alec Sherrie
Recorded at Seaward Studios
Vocals by Nick Gligor, Elizabeth Hayhurst
Additional Instrumental Production by Luke Burba
LYRICS:
I take a bite
Of a cookie till there’s none in sight
Santa’s feeling blue
Day after Christmas and my job is through
Ho ho ho ho….
Kringle’s beard is white
As the old reindeer refrain from flight
Last night? The moon
Now it’s eggnog and a sense of gloom
Ho ho ho ho….
I watch the children sift through their gifts on the twenty sixth
And from here they can’t see I’m pissed
The sad state of recycled gifts
I watch the children sift through their gifts on the twenty sixth
Calm down, they got their wish
The sad state of recycled gifts
