Singing Every Carol I Know
Music: Traditional Carols
Lyrics By: Gail H. Johnsen
About the Song
Lyrics
I know some people who start singing Christmas carols the month before the season actually begins. I have friends who say they sing Christmas carols all year long.
When I learned that there are literally hundreds of Christmas carols and many of them have been sung by multiple artists which expands the universe of Christmas carols, I began to see the humor in a goal oriented person who was so in love with Christmas carols that each they made it their task to sing everyone.
This was the inspiration for this comedy song! I strung together various public domain carols to create the music for this song.
I start the Christmas season
Singing carols sweet and slow.
But then I finding I'm belting
Every carol that I know.
I'm just a Christmas junky
And it's terrible I guess.
But I sing every carol to excess.
I must confess.
Just the joyous yuletide tunes
I can't suppress.
And someone writes another carol
By December 1st of the next year.
Yes, I really love the new ones
But the old ones are so fond and dear.
Choosing from hundreds of carols
And I'm hoping to sing everyone.
I won't stop until I've done it.
Fabulous and festive is my fun.
There are songs about Santa
His sleigh with reindeer who
Have noses a cherry red hew.
And of Grinches and garlands
And gifting green elves true (they do.)
Bring happiness and a honeybaked hullabaloo.
Songs of tree and songs of toys;
gifts for parents, girls, and boys.
Snow and stockings in a row;
couples kiss with mistletoe.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
So, ho,ho,ho ho.
See all the shimmer and the show.
I'm euphoric and aglow.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho , ho,
Carols cascade in allegro.
I love my solstice solo.
When Happy New Year comes
The season's singing sadly goes.
My life returns to normal
With a nice upbeat tempo.
I try to think more clearly
But my mind is in a spin,
For the marvelous music to begin
And I know when:
Just eleven months until it starts again.
