NDC Throwback Thursday Genre: Ska Theme: Holiday Rush ---------------------------------------------------- [Intro (ba-bap! ba-bap!) Skank! Skank! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!— It’s that time again! [Verse 1] Cold lights flicker down the street Plastic smiles and frozen feet Tinsel tangled in my head Credit limit nearly dead (“Limited time!”) Signs scream “JOY” in blinking red Snow turns grey beneath the sled Choirs sing through shopping aisles Forced goodwill and practiced smiles (“Last chance!”) [Chorus] Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Put your future on the card! Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Debt wrapped up with love and heart bah-bah BAAH! [Verse 2] Office party, warm beer cheer Boss says “Family!” once a year Secret Santa, budget lies Thirty pounds of compromise (“Spend it! Spend it!”) Kids want magic, adults sigh Peace on Earth — terms apply Silent night, noisy head Counting zeros, seeing red (“Festive cheer!”) [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath and swipe again Smile wide for plastic friends Joy comes free — conditions bend Returns accepted, souls exempt [Chorus] Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Wrap it tight and call it love! Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Interest rates from up above! [Breakdown] CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy! Now! Now! Now! Now! “One more gift! One more smile!” “We’ll worry ‘bout it… after a while!” [Bridge] They said it’s not about the money Then why’s the money everywhere? They said it’s all about togetherness So why do I feel… elsewhere? ... ... Anyway— [Final Chorus] Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Snow falls soft on empty hands Buy now! (Buy now!) Cry later! (Cry later!) Merry Christmas — payment plans! [Outro] wah-wah… bap… Skank it off… skank it off… See you in January.
