about

I've been too serious the past few years when writing my annual Christmas Song. Writing a good Christmas song also requires a sense of humor and kitsch. I was rehearsing the song Brick House, by the Commodores, with my band mates in Brother Maynard and suddenly thought that a funk tune would be good for this year's tune! Plus, if you add sleigh bells to any piece of music it all of a sudden becomes a Christmas classic! Enjoy!

lyrics

Have a very merry Christmas
Have a very funky Christmas
It’s the time of year to get down
Have a very merry Christmas
Have a very funky Christmas
And a far out groovy new year

It’s that time of year
you got your baby near
and you know just what she needs
a little mistletoe
a little ho ho ho
a big ol present under the tree

Have a very merry Christmas
Have a very funky Christmas
It’s the time of year to get down
Have a very merry Christmas
Have a very funky Christmas
And a far out groovy new year

Here's MacDaddy Mr. Santa in a low ride limousine
He’s comin' straight to your house to make a big old scene
He ain’t going down no chimney he’s coming straight through your front door
He wants to party with ya gettin down on the dance floor

Jingle bell-Jingle bell-Jingle bell-yeah
Jingle bell-Jingle bell-Jingle bell-yeah
Jingle bell-Jingle bell-Jingle bell-yeah
Hey Santa - pick up that guitar and play!

Have a very merry Christmas
Have very funky Christmas
From Detroit to New York City
L.A. Atlanta and Philly
Have a very merry Christmas
Have a very funky Christmas
And a far out groovy new year
Get down

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
