about
Nothing harkens back to the holidays of olde like a 3/4 time oom-pah about the winter warmth of friends and family, the corporatization of charitability, and the excesses at the end of the Gregorian year. Warble along with the Tannenbaum Twelve on this festive classic!
lyrics
Lyrics:
Now is the season for gooseberry beer
So fill up my pint glass with buckets of cheer
Friends by the fire, some passed out on the floor
Who wake up and shake off and do it once more
Card games and movies are down from the shelf
Glad I'm not stuck here alone by myself
What to my wandering eye do I see?
My egg noggin has taken on me
My egg noggin hasn't sunken me yet
But it's bobbed and it's swerved and it's weaved
And it just can't hold up under quadruple threat
Of gooseberry beer, bowl of green tea, egg noggin, and me
On a long-ago solstice, the new king arrived
Nowadays Christmas can seem so contrived
Those corporate sponsors don't bother me non
Cuz Kringle and Krishna and Jesus are one
My egg noggin hasn't sunken me yet
But it's bobbed and it's swerved and it's weaved
And it just can't hold up under quadruple threat
Of gooseberry beer, bowl of green tea, egg noggin, and me
The new year's upon us with cinder block hands
Living room littered with bottles and cans
Farewell ye travelers and never ye fear
It won't be long now, I'll see you next year
My egg noggin hasn't sunken me yet
But it's bobbed and it's swerved and it's weaved
And it just can't hold up under quadruple threat
Of gooseberry beer, bowl of green tea, and Jäger, Goldschläger and Chartreuse and red wine, Bacardi and Dry Sack and whiskey and bourbon, egg noggin, and me
