about
We were 100% rookies when it came to recording (so much so, that we tracked all the instruments before realizing it would be ridiculously hard to sing (hence all the yelling).
Despite being rookies, we still managed to coax a pretty decent guitar tone into the mic. We rerecorded the bass this year, and added some flair with Neviah doing the intro for us, and the gang doing an appropriate sounding "Send Them Back"
As with the other songs, we changed some lyrics (have you ever noticed how Christmas songs make no damn sense?)
lyrics
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
She'd been drinking too much eggnog,
And we begged her not to go,
She forgot her medication,
As she stumbled out the door into the snow
When we found her the next morning,
At the scene of the attack
She had hoofprints on her forehead,
And incriminating Claus marks on her back
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
Now we're all so proud of Grandpa
He's been taking this so well
See him in there watching football
Drinking beer and playing cards with cousin Mel
It's not Christmas without Grandma
All the family's dressed in black
And we can't just help but wonder
Should we open up her gifts or send them back (SEND THEM BACK!)
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
Now the booze is on the table
And the tonic's mixed with gin
All the shot glasses are empty
Now we're ready for this party to begin
I've warned all my friends and neighbors,
Better watch our for yourselves
They should never give a license
To a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
Grandma got run over by a reindeer,
Walking home from our house, Christmas Eve,
You might say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe
