Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday Pizza bagels, gefilte fish Egg nog flavored Manischewitz Ginger bread houses and smoked fish The chopped liver is so delish Turtle neck sweaters are the pits From Grandma who still calls them gifts Christmas tree and a menorah It's just a New York Chanukah Melting chocolate gelt by the fire Grandpa passed out, he must be tired Eating fresh latkes from the fryer Grandma tripped on the tv wire Watching Scrooged on the big tv Desert, bourbon or decaf tea? Chocolate jelly rings and kreplach It's just a New York Chanukah Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday Temple or church it's time to split I gained five pounds and cannot fit Into that suit and I am mad Cursing holiday food real bad The services take way too long Cough when they break into a song Reefs, dreidels, and candelabra It's just a New York Chanukah Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on Holiday, holiday, so happy on

Hey Vinny Hey Vinny Hey Vinny Beachfront Vinny D Kids love graceless surf guitar comedy Just like the time you fell on Al Jardine. On stage during a live taping Hey Vinny Vinny debonair You look so youthful with that spray on hair The way you quote from Just One of The Guys The Goonies and True Lies for kicks Hey Vinny Vinny The next king of the surf guitar Surely you won't flip flop To be famous on Tik Tok Vinny you're a star Even though nobody knows who you are They would've but you got thrown off that tour For calling Jack Black's mom a whore Hey Vinny Vinny The next king of the surf guitar Surely you won't flip flop To be famous on Tik Tok Vinny don't you cry You're still a modest hit on Spotify You complain but you really should be pleased Opening up for Richard Cheese Hey Vinny Hey Vinny Hey Vinny This surf track's for you credits

Congratulations to Beachfront Vinny Dick Dale Who I adore and play on my program on Little Steven's Underground Garage Would have been very proud Every where you look, every where you go There's a heart, a hand to hold onto Everywhere you look, every where you go There's a face, of somebody who needs you Now the world don't move To the beat of just one drum What might be right for you May not be right for some A man is born He's a man of means Then along comes two They got nothing but their jeans But they got Different Strokes, it takes Different Strokes, it takes Different Strokes, to rule the world Dance your cares away Worries for another day Let the music play Surfing Fraggle Rock Show me that smile again Oh, show me that smile Don't waste another minute of your crying We're nowhere near the end, we're nowhere near But they got Different Strokes, it takes Different Strokes, it takes Different Strokes, to rule the world Hey let the music play Bend the silver whammy bar all the way Twang it everyday Surfing Fraggle Rock Show me that smile again Oh, show me that smile Don't waste another minute of your crying We're nowhere near the end, we're nowhere near

I can't wait this year for Christmas Gifts and presents Hugs and kisses All I want All I want Reading books by candlelight Falling snow by the pale Moonlight All I want For Christmas is my mom All I want For Christmas is my mom Make amends and find forgiveness Put aside all family business All I want All I want For that, I'd trade my new PlayStation A world class cruise for a Staycation All I want For Christmas is my mom All I want For Christmas is my mom I know things will be alright When I'm with family Christmas night That's all I want All I want Wearing holiday attire Chestnuts roasting by the fire All I want Smell that homemade apple pie Then tell me there's no heaven When you die All I want And if you can't make the time Then I'll just go there in my mind That's all I want For Christmas is my mom All I want For Christmas is my mom

I'm a blue soldier Just somewhat older Fight for the Union That's just assuming That they figured out how to go back in time Right to a place where you can find uniforms reasonably priced Then I'd buy a real wool union cap and dress A gun I'll figure out the rest Eat beans unseasonably spiced I'm a blue soldier I'm a blue soldier I'm a blue soldier Just somewhat older Fight for the Union That's just assuming They lowered the height requirement back then 1858 Remington almost blew off my underwear And sky blue baggy trousers I'm concerned Let's say I'm shot taken prisoner While wearing nothing under there I'm a blue soldier I'm a blue soldier I'm a blue soldier Just somewhat older Fight for the Union That's just assuming I'm a blue soldier I'm a blue soldier

I could have you working every night Getting paid in cash instead of stale bud light No more gigging in your high top van Getting stiffed on food, the owner treats you bad But if you join a Beach Boys tribute band You'll be making bank singing Barbara Ann Cause they don't know about surf And they never heard of twang These local audiences just don't care If you don't join a tribute band you go nowhere Long Island venues are like country clubs Exclusive membership and I could get you one if you just Join a Beach Boys tribute band It is not stealing hey you're just a fan Cause they don't know about surf And they've never heard of twang Imagine the people screaming when you Take the stage Let me show you my long hair wig When I go and play fake Jimmy Page I appreciate your words to me About these tribute bands we'll have to disagree I don't really care about live shows And where the surf thing takes me no one really knows so I won't Join a Beach Boys tribute band And pretend I'm not what I really am Cause they don't know about surf And they never heard of twang No I can't join a Beach Boys tribute band I would miss my guys and my high top van Cause they don't know about surf And they never heard of twang credits
