Christmas In July

VERSE 1:
(When the)
Days are getting shorter, and the temperature gets low, there's
Surely just one thing that springs to mind...
Halloween, Thanksgiving? Man, I just don't wanna know! 'Cos there's
Only 4 months left 'till Christmas time!
The Magic of the season saves the High St. from defeat, and
Commercials urge that spending must start soon... so
Let's write off the fall, “Deck the
Malls with boughs of coconuts”, and
Book that office party for the month right after June!
Because...
CHORUS:
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
(CHRISTMAS IN JULY, YEAH!)
DRINK MULLED WINE IN THE SUNSHINE,
SANTA'S SUPER FESTIVE FUNTIME!
(SANTA'S SUPER FESTIVE FUNTIME!)
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
DROP NEW YEAR'S ALTOGETHER!
YULETIDE VIBE WITH BETTER WEATHER!
BRIDGE:
(Non-denominational Holiday Season!)
VERSE 2:
Now is the time, for givin' and receivin'; those
Corporations love to bump and grind! You
Can't wait 'till Black Friday – RRP's got no reprieve, and
Department stores would love to rob you blind!
The competition's fierce this year, you gotta get them goods! 'Cos
Santa always comes through with them toys... Don't
Worry 'bout the money, “and don't
Sweat – the sweatshops never stop!” Get
Credit for that credit, bought for all the girls and boys!
Because...
CHORUS
MIDDLE 8
(I said the Christmas song is the gift that keeps on givin'...)
[SPOKEN ASIDE]
“Every year, this time it comes around
People searchin' for that Christmas sound
I've gone done it – cashing in, I'm selling out!
'Cos that's what Christmas is all about!”
MODULATED CHORUS
(NON-DENOMINATIONAL HOLIDAY SEASON, YEAH!)
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
THE GIFTS THAT YOU'RE PRESENTED – BETTER
HOPE THEY'RE NOT RESENTED!
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
WHEN PEOPLE COME TOGETHER – NOW THE
SHARES ARE NEVER BETTER!
(IT'S THE REAL THING!)
CHORUS
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
DRINK MULLED WINE IN THE SUNSHINE,
SANTA'S SUPER FESTIVE FUNTIME!
IT'S CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
DROP NEW YEAR'S ALTOGETHER!
YULETIDE VIBE WITH BETTER WEATHER!

Wilsoni Tha' Funk Masta Edinburgh, UK
The Funk is not a style of music - it's an attitude!
The world's got the Placebo Syndrome,
in a time of hardships, turmoil, greed and superficiality. Wilsoni is reminding folks that The Funk is relevant in the 21st Century.
The Acid Jazz has left London, so he's back in Auld Reekie trying to make sense of the world. The Jam Hard Vanguard - rallying Funkateers to a revolution of the mind!

Wilsoni Tha' Funk Masta recommends:
I'm deep in an Oz-Funk hole, and despite hearing these folks from Tazzy on BBC Radio 6 Music, I've not heard from them since. Give them props - their beats are heavy!

Comrade Caspar Sutton-Jones, whose saxy licks add fire to Wilsoni's records, is featured in this London ensemble. Reminiscent of the P - but if youre on more of a Jazzy tip - check Nomad Collective
