TOPIC: Father Christmas / April Fools Day

Post 1 of 3
As I was at work last night, I got bored (as usual) and my mind started singing Father Christmas. I really do like that song and I was thinking to myself "This would be great to hear live, because its one of my favorites. hmm to bad it isn't even close to Christmas" And that's when it occured to me: If the lyrics were changed, it could become a non-seasonal song. Better yet, since the show is on April Fool's Day, it could become an April Fool's day song. I then became really bored and thought up some lyrics, and finished them up tonight. I want to hear this song so very badly it isn't funny.

Anyway, here they are, feel free to make suggestions, changes, whatever. I'm sure someone around here has enough pull to at least suggest they play it Friday night, I'd be perfectly happy with either version. Actually, I'm happy with just a show, but Father Christmas would be a nice addition.

I found all your undies, and turned them into ice
Went into your bedroom, filled it with gigantic mice (with gigantic mice)
And now I’m laughing in my room
     
April Fool’s Day (Jokes, Jokes, Jokes,) Come again really soon

I got a new whoopee cushion, and filled it with some air.
And I erupted into laughter, as you sat down in your chair (down into your chair)
We all laughed so hard we cried

April Fool’s day (Jokes Jokes Jokes) when will the pranks subside?
(I got more jokes up my sleeve)

Ah-ha haha haha ha
Ah-ha haha haha ha etc.
It’s erasing all your gloom
Ah-ha haha haha ha
Ah-ha haha haha ha

I know you tried, to get me back real good
But I took real pride, when your car wouldn’t run, like it should

You must have been tired when you slipped into the bed
But there were no sheep to count, you were fixing the sheets instead. (got you good once more)
I’ve got tricks and pranks galore

April Fools Day (Jokes Jokes Jokes) Tomorrow will be a bore…

Ah-ha haha haha ha
Ah-ha haha haha ha etc.
