Mrs. Christmas
Words and Music Bruce Enloe, 2017
Hey Mrs. Christmas-you’re on my wish-list
Come kiss Mr. Christmas right here-
The eggnog and whisky has made me feel frisky
So I’m risking my heart and I’m pulling you near
Hey Mrs. December, I still remember
Those Christmases when we were young delinquents
I love you more today in almost every way-
Our love has gotten stronger- if perhaps not quite as frequent
Hey Mrs. Santa Claus, I know we can’t because
The little one upstairs is a light sleeper…
If we don’t go all the way… to the North Pole
It’s ok, the couch is closer, and it’s definitely cheaper
Chorus:
Hey Mrs. Christmas—tip-toe over here,
I promise you a Silent Night of Jack Frost nibblin’ at your ear
Hey Mrs. Christmas, I won’t make a sound—
If we Fool-loo-loo-loo-loo-loo-lool around…
Hey Mrs. Yuletide, there’s a log on the fire inside,
Let’s melt you out of these blankets of snow—
Sit here beside me or climb up on Santa’s knee
We’ll unwrap each other’s presents underneath the mistletoe…
Hey Mrs. Holiday Cheer, you’ve been a naughty girl this year,
You’ve even trimmed the… tree in preparation…
There’s a lump of coal for you because you got caught kissing Santa Claus—
But coal turns into diamonds with a little time and patience.
Hey Mrs. Christmas, you’re on my wish-list
Show me yours and I will show you mine—
Mine’s just a single sheet, written there nice and neat is your name on every line!

Christmas at the Bottom of the Ocean
Christmas at the bottom of the ocean
A million miles away from where you are
Stuck here in this submarine
10 thousand leagues beneath the sea
Sending Christmas wishes by sonar
The whales are singing Silent Night in harmony
The ships bells seem to chime along in tune
But I’m stuck here at the bottom of the ocean
And it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
Christmas at the bottom of the ocean
The surface twinkles like a distant star
Candlelit by phosphorescent jellyfish
With gifts of light like wise men from afar
Plankton drift like snow outside of the starboard porthole
Stuck here in the deepest pool of blue
The submarine is decked out with the season’s finest colours
But it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you
Next year I’ll back before December
This science expedition will be through
I’ll bring home a starfish to ornament the tree
And I’ll spend season somewhere close to you
This year it’s Christmas at the bottom of the ocean
Locked down here in Davy Jones’ tomb
The whales are singing Little Town of Bethlehem
And it doesn’t feel like Christmas without you…

Christmas Lullaby – 2020 Bruce Enloe
It’s a Christmas lullaby
Now it’s time to close your eyes
Blow a kiss and say goodnight—til we see you in the morning…
When you open up your eyes…
Come downstairs and see the light…
There’ll be love and sharing everywhere on Christmas Day.
Now it’s time to get some sleep,
And start counting Christmas sheep
As they fly up to the moon…
Santa Claus is coming soon… and when he gets here…
Now it’s time to play,
Everyone will smile and say…
Good morning, merry Christmas and I love you!
Every year on Christmas eve—
Dreaming of what we’ll receive,
It’s important to remember… that the reason for the season…
Is to think of someone else,
Before thinking of ourselves—
Sharing love is what we celebrate on Christmas Day!
It’s a Christmas lullaby—
Now it’s time to close your eyes,
Blow a kiss and say goodnight… til we see you in the morning…
When you open up your eyes—
Come downstairs and see the light,
Love and sharing everywhere and we love you!

Green Christmas (Fire Santa and Hire Greta)
Bruce Enloe - 2021
All I want for Christmas… And I don’t think it's too much to ask…
Is for an empowered centralized world government…to impose a universal carbon tax!
Let’s hire Greta Thunberg to take over for Santa Claus - cuz i think that she’d be up for the task
Of delivering a Christmas gift for everyone… of an immediate moratorium…
on the extraction of all fossil fuels including coal… oil… and natural gaaass….
Let's fire Santa and hire Greta…
Santa’s had a good run run but Greta’s … betta
She'd do a damn good job if we would… let her…
We should fire Santa… and hire Greta…
I’m dreaming of a greener Christmas this year, so please listen to my rant…
I’d rather have coal in my stocking than another coal fired power plant…
Instead of some messy messianic birthday… let’s double down on earth day…
We all want to do better but we can’t
until we take that bloated symbol of… the excess we’ve all come to love…
And kick him square in the seat of his big red pants
Santa Claus is the spirit of giving and that certainly has its place
But Greta’s cause is a gift we give to the entire human race!
I know it’s all a bit much for a single Swedish teenage girl
But this ain’t candy-canes and mistletoe, it’s the future of the world
That jingle bell is ringing friends… and it’s ringing loud and clear!
Let’s toss out the old fat guy on his ear…
Now before you tell me to can it… imagine chestnuts roasting on an… open planet
No matter how you scan it… that’s not good…
Let’s do the hard thing we don’t want to… but we should…
(carbon neutral, if we want it!)

Bruce Enloe Kemptville, Ontario
Genre Fluid.
Yes, some of it is funny, but not all of it... and, yes, some of it sweet, but
it's not just that either. Some of it is weird... because... cantaloupe!
All of it is lyric driven songwriting at the core from a well traveled musician based in Kemptville, Ontario who is widely known for playing at Farmers' Markets in exchange for free vegetables.
Will work for beets.
