lyrics
I’m really bored, so I’ll record
And cover this carol that is
Ubiquitous, during Christmas
Should know the words, sadly I don’t
Ding dongy doe, that’s kind of close
Bell noise and shit, basically it
Add harmonies, that’s sort of neat
No instruments, minimalist
Repeating mode, ostinato
Echo effect, yes be impressed
This bit was hard
To sing all the parts
It took way too long
And it’s barely done
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Or ya know, whatever you celebrate
Hey you know what, this kinda got
Boring to do, don’t know how to
Quit in the mid-dle part of it
It’s almost through, just continue
So, how are things? Oh, good to hear
No way, that’s sad. Right on, that’s rad.
Seriously, I cannot think
Of further words, for this here verse
I’ve drawn a blank, gotta fill space
Might as well give my grocery list
One quart of milk
Some butter and bread
Don’t buy that ice cream
Damn you fatass
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
This kind of sucked, man, what the fuck
Not worth the time, it barely rhymed
The lesson is: don’t cover this
No joyful tone, I’m getting stoned
And cover this carol that is
Ubiquitous, during Christmas
Should know the words, sadly I don’t
Ding dongy doe, that’s kind of close
Bell noise and shit, basically it
Add harmonies, that’s sort of neat
No instruments, minimalist
Repeating mode, ostinato
Echo effect, yes be impressed
This bit was hard
To sing all the parts
It took way too long
And it’s barely done
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Or ya know, whatever you celebrate
Hey you know what, this kinda got
Boring to do, don’t know how to
Quit in the mid-dle part of it
It’s almost through, just continue
So, how are things? Oh, good to hear
No way, that’s sad. Right on, that’s rad.
Seriously, I cannot think
Of further words, for this here verse
I’ve drawn a blank, gotta fill space
Might as well give my grocery list
One quart of milk
Some butter and bread
Don’t buy that ice cream
Damn you fatass
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas
This kind of sucked, man, what the fuck
Not worth the time, it barely rhymed
The lesson is: don’t cover this
No joyful tone, I’m getting stoned
