about

This was Showponies' attempt at a Christmas song. Santa meets your narrator in a late night takeaway on Christmas Eve, pays for his food and then takes him around delivering presents.

Important Christmas based topics are covered, such as whether Santa visits the Middle and Far East, and whether he's got a traditional paper map or sat nav.

Pretty genius.

lyrics

It was Christmas Eve, I was alone, it was night time. I'd had too much to drink and wasn't walking straight. I ordered a pizza but I had no money and an old bearded man gave me his change.

He asked if I'd like to see his transport, said he'd drive me home and it would be free. It's an ancient sleigh and it's powered by reindeer. I'm Santa, son, fly with me.

Christmas man do you go to Beirut and Japan? I wanna know.
Christmas man do you use a map or a sat nav? I wanna know.

I jumped in the seat and got ready for a good time, he took a whip to Blitzen and off we went. He passed me a sack and pushed me down a chimney, said "realise this; you've got to pay your way".

We went around the houses for what seemed like hours. My hands were blistered and my jeans were ripped. We drank together until it was day light. "Cos I'm Santa son, I can handle this".

Christmas man do you go to Beirut and Japan? I wanna know.
Christmas man do you use a map or a sat nav? I wanna know.
