At a tenner I'm making a loss on every one of them, they're that limited. Oh, if you buy this you get the download too.

about

The Christmas Band (Mackey)

lyrics

It was coming up to Christmas,
And the reindeer were tired of waiting,
So they climbed up the workshop,
To see what the elves were making,
They decided right then and there,
What they were going to do,
When the elves took their next chocolate break,
They'd break the door in two,

Dasher grabbed a drum kit,
And Vixen grabbed a bass,
Blitzen and Comet took guitars and ran about the place,
Rudolf looked around and found an mic and a stand,
For his red nose would help him,
To front The Christmas Band,

Back in the reindeer's stable,
Which was no renamed "The Hut",
Dancer and Prancer practiced moved,
While the band tunes up,
Donna kept security,
And barricaded the door,
Cupid wrote the lyrics,
While Rudolf practiced roars,

With Dasher on the drum kit,
And Vixen on the bass,
Blitzen and Comet shred guitars,
Melting snow without a trace,
Rudolf stands out front,
Like no human man can,
For his red nose helps him,
To front The Christmas Band,

Then some of Blitzen's feedback,
Woke Santa from his sleep,
He said "if you want to keep this gear,
You must practice thrice a week,
For a year your noisy jams I will endure,
And next year I'll book you,
For a rooftop world tour!"

With Dasher on the drum kit,
And Vixen on the bass,
Blitzen and Comet shred guitars,
Melting snow without a trace,
Rudolf stands out front,
Like no human man can,
For his red nose helps him,
To front The Christmas Band,

So listen out now on Christmas Eve,
For some Tinsel Reindeer Rock,
They'll be playing on your rooftop,
While Santa fills your socks,
There'll be Dasher on the drum kit,
There'll be Vixen on the bass,
There'll be Blitzen and Comet shredding guitars,
Melting snow without a trace,
Rudolf stands out front,
Like no human man can,
For his red nose helps him,
To front The Christmas Band.
