Did you hear about the arena Christmas concert the Brobdingnagian Bards did in Rome, Italy? Hear a track that “proves” its existence.
Christmas time in Texas is a very different experience from traditional motifs. Perhaps you too can relate to some of these things. We talk about the song from our Christmas EP.
It’s all on the Brobdingnagian Bards Podcast #73

SONG LYRICS
Christmas Time in Texas
by Marc Gunn & Andrew McKee
There's no white Christmas day
less you drive a white Chevrolet
You won't hear sleigh bells ringing
less the Salvation Army is Santa-ing
In your…Christmas time in Texas.
And if you feel the holiday blues,
Go outside with no shoes
And when Santa Claus arrives,
He’ll be wearing SPF 45
In your…Christmas time in Texas.
O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
And if you hear Kris Kringle outside
His sleigh won't get stuck,
He's flying in style In his monster truck
During Christmas time in Texas.
So don't bother with Christmas lights.
Buy your cold winter clothing half-price.
Then the presents beneath your tree,
Will all smell just like mesquite.
In your… Christmas time in Texas.
O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
Santa, won’t come down your chimney
That’s not what their for,
In Texas we're friendly. He'll use the front door.
During Christmas time in Texas.
Christmas morning, you will hope
In your stocking, there's a new rope
Forget eggnog. Drink lite beer
As you wrastle your new steer
In your…Christmas time in Texas.
O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
And if you hear in your chimney,
A man that is stuck.
Load up your shotgun. This stranger is Fu… in trouble.
During Christmas time in Texas.
