Anyone that really knows me, knows that I love Disneyland and specifically the Pirates of the Caribbean. Lately I’ve had that song in my head. You know the one “Yo ho ho ho a pirates life for me.”? Right? Well here is my Christmas version I wrote today. Music still by George Bruns of course.
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, it’s a Santa life for me
The village, snowed under, it’s trifle, it’s moot
Christmas is coming , Ho Ho
We package and wrap and holler and hoot
Christmas is coming, Ho Ho
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, it’s a Santa life for me
Time’s short, we sort, we stack and sack
Christmas is coming, Ho, Ho
The elfve’s are quite tired, I even rub backs
Christmas is coming, Ho Ho
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, it’s a Santa life for me
We bundle and bag, check names through the night
Christmas is coming, Ho Ho
We map out our cities, we’re ready for flight
Christmas is coming, Ho, Ho
We’re restless, excited, the reindeer are bathed
Christmas is coming Ho, Ho
The cookies are placed, the stockings on pegs
Christmas is coming, Ho, Ho
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, it’s a Santa life for me
The children all snuggled all up in their beds
Christmas is coming, Ho, Ho
Merry Christmas to all of the mommies and dads
Christmas is coming, Ho, Ho

That’s Luke’s favorite song! He’ll have fun learning your new words for Christmas. We have the CD with Yo Ho on it, so we’ll sing along. Thanks for the fun Uncle Lance! Glad you have the holiday spirit!!
