about

This song is inspired by my father-in-law, Gerald Trice. During the holiday season, he portrays Santa Claus for miscellaneous events, and he looks quite awesome doing it due to his Santa-like physique, real full white beard & head of hair, and the happy cherubic look on his face he sports 24/7. I couldn't help but wonder, what it must be like to look the way he looks during the rest of the year. Hence, this song.

lyrics

You all know about that old Saint Nick,
Who can squeeze down a chimney with a magic trick.
He's got a beard and hair that's long and white,
and he's known to wear glasses flying through the night.
When kids see him all big and round,
they get so excited that they could burst...
which can get awkward if you look just like him
in a Wal-Mart on June 21st.
A doppleganger for that jolly old elf,
I try to sympathize with that guy.
I wonder what it's like to walk around looking like
Santa in July?
(Ho, Ho, ...Huh?)

The kids stop and gasp and point and stare,
while you eat a corn dog at the county fair.
Jump on your lap, what are you 'sposed to do?
Guess you'll miss that Labor Day barbecue.
What kind of guy would be a Scrooge or a Grinch,
so you do just what a proper Claus would.
Give them a wink, and a pat on the head,
and remind them that it's nice to be good.
Bringing some smiles, and some magic and fun
to all the children passing by.
I have to think it's pretty wonderful to look just like
Santa in July.
(Merry Independence Day!) [*fireworks sound effects*]
