(music and lyrics by Paul Nordquist)
Seems like it happened overnight, overnight.
Someone made a winter wonderland,
A thousand strings of light.
Like every December, but still it carries me away
And I have to say.
Everything is turning into magic
Bursting out with shining stars and angel wings
Tell me, who’s been going round
Shaking sparkle dust and magic onto everything?
Everything is turning into magic
Suddenly I’m struck with the urge to sing
Is it you who’s waving wands, casting spells
And making magic out of everything?
It must have taken all night long, all night long
Hanging candy canes on street light poles
Snowmen on the lawn
Like every December, but still it carries me away
And I have to say.
Everything is turning into magic
Bursting out with shining stars and angel wings
Tell me, who’s been going round
Shaking sparkle dust and magic onto everything?
Everything is turning into magic
Suddenly I’m struck with the urge to sing
Is it you who’s waving wands, casting spells
And making magic out of everything?
Everything’s turning into magic
Everything’s turning into magic
Everything is turning into magic
Suddenly I’m struck with the urge to sing
Is it you who’s waving wands, casting spells
And making magic out of everything?
Is it you who’s going round
Shaking sparkle dust and magic onto everything?
Is it you who’s waving wands, casting spells
And making magic out of everything?
Listen to "Mall Sharks":
(music and lyrics by Paul Nordquist)
We were supposed to have a merry Christmas
A holly jolly solidly merry Christmas
We were supposed to have a merry Christmas
But nobody told the mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Get out of the mall before they eat you alive!
It was supposed to be a silent night
It was supposed to be a holy night
The kind where all is calm and all is bright
But nobody told the mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Who do you call
When there are sharks in the mall
When your back’s to the wall
And your Christmas is on the line?
What will we have to do
To make our Christmas feel safe again?
And, tell me, what will we have to do
To save our Christmas from the sharks?
And tell me, what will we do to have a merry Christmas?
We were supposed to have a merry Christmas
But nobody told the mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (mall sharks)
Mall sharks (Just when you thought it)
Mall sharks (Thought it was safe to)
Mall sharks (Safe to get back in)
Mall sharks (Back into Christmas)
Listen to "Mincemeat":
(music and lyrics by Paul Nordquist)
Whose plan it was I do not know
To limbo under the mistletoe
Now we have sunk to an all time low
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
The neon wreath fell off our door
Just like it did eight times before
The duct tape quacked! Let's use some more!
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
Ho, ho, look out below
I just dropped six tons of snow
It burns your eye
‘Cause it's made of lye
But you better not cry
You better lie low
(you better lie low, low low low)
Our caroling group did not rehearse
Can't even get through the whole first verse
Twelve cans of beer, and it just gets worse
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
Oh dear, what do I hear?
That was the last of the glass reindeer
Let's haul it away
And call it a day
It's time to say "better luck next year!"
Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in that UFO
He will not see me down below
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
Making mincemeat, mincemeat of Christmas
