sparquelito Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 ....but it really drives me nuts to walk into the large department stores in October and see Christmas decorations and Christmas stuff on display already. I can't stand it. So much so that I wrote a song about it. Here's me and the Martin 12-string from three years ago. It's a little rough, but it was my first pass. http://chirb.it/JEwaA1 Walmart Wait A E I love Christmas A E When it’s Christmas time A E Love to put up my Christmas lights A E After December nine D E But nothing drives me crazier than A step down F#m To walk into Wal-Mart and see D E A whole bunch of tinsel and plastic Santas A On October three A E There’s a time and place for everything A E That’s what I’ve heard A E But displays of all that Christmas stuff A E Before Halloween is absurd D E And nothing drives me crazier than A step down F#m To go buy my Thanksgiving bird D E And find ladies fighting over sales of Christmas stockings A On November third CHORUS A E Walmart wait A E Costco hold on until the temperature drops (please) A E Lowes and Home Depot put it off for just a few weeks A E We’re all still wearing our shorts and flip flops D E It’s not right to sell Christmas A step down F#m Until there’s some snow to plow D E I’m begging and pleading now A Walmart wait Copyright 2013, John Sparkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 First I've heard it. Sounds good. Nice job. I wrote a song (my only one ever) for this season back in about 1996 or 97. It was a blues very similar in style to "Before You Accuse Me". But it started "It's Halloween now baby, and I've got a pumpkin in your patch" It goes down from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 A non-seasonal sentiment we can all identify with. :) I wrote a xmas song about 10 years ago. No recording thank goodness. Those were the days before I hated xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Very Nice ! :) I thought it sounded excellent for a first pass. Great lyrics too! And I agree with you all the way. Maybe we can get some politicians to pass some laws regarding when they can start putting up displays in stores. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
