Frankincense 03:23
I will give you frankincense I will give you myrrh I’ll see what I can do about gold I don’t got a guy for sure (He don’t got a guy for sure) You will give me unity Give me peace on Earth And I will give you Frankincense For what it’s worth (For what it’s worth) You will give me salvation You will give me truth I’ll give you a death that preserves The firebrand of your youth (The firebrand of your youth) Yes, you will give me salvation Absolve my sin of birth And I will give you frankincense For what it’s worth (For what it’s worth) I will give you frankincense I will give you myrrh I’ll see what I can do about gold I don’t got a guy for sure (He don’t got a guy for sure) You will give me unity Give me peace on Earth And I will give you Frankincense For what it’s worth (For what it’s worth) And I will give you Frankincense For what it’s worth (For what it’s worth)

We went for a sleigh ride in the pioneer park It felt so nice, under the snowflakes, holding, hands in the dark but my hot chocolate got spiked, now I’m high as a reindeer in flight And neither of us can remember my name, try as we might And I heard a song ring loud and clear, like a bell, in the night... They played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now I’ve got a shiver You made me feel so warm inside, now I want to disappear Thought you were heaven sent, but you don’t believe in consent They played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now it’s cold in here We took an Uber back to your place in Eau Claire I saw your grizzly rug now my skin feels bare You poured us another drink, now its too foggy to think Neither of us could unclasp my bra, and I’m throwing up in the sink And you put on a record, turned it up, and gave me a wink... You played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now I’ve got a shiver It’s not really that cold outside, but its frigid in here How can I date a man, who refuses to understand That you played Baby It’s Cold Outside, and now I want to hide I called a cab but you won’t let me go You stand between me and my dignity, but you, you, oughta know As I make a dash for the door, you won’t see me any more If you want better luck with the ladies, bud, here’s one thing you shouldn’t ignore They played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now I’ve got a shiver You made me feel so warm inside, now I want to disappear Thought you were heaven sent, but you don’t believe in consent They played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now it’s cold in here You played Baby Its Cold Outside, and now it’s cold in here

Daughter, oh daughter, where have you been? Where have you been the long winter wild? I’ve been where I wanted, and I’ve seen my share of sin But tonight, God and sinners are reconciled God and sinners are reconciled Daughter, oh daughter, who did you know? Who did you know the long winter wild? I knew those who would love me, and I knew those who would go But tonight, God and sinners are reconciled God and sinners are reconciled Daughter, oh daughter, what did you see? What did you see the long winter wild? I looked deep into my eyes and all I saw was me But tonight, God and sinners are reconciled God and sinners are reconciled Daughter, oh daughter, what will you say? What will you say the long winter wild? I’ll say my only truth and then walk straight away ‘Cause tonight, God and sinners are reconciled God and sinners are reconciled

Holidays in many ways are much like any other days The best of days like certain summer Saturdays I’ll grab some beer, just a six lately they just make me sick I can’t handle more I think my liver is sore Then we’ll get sloppy drunk and laugh until we cry We are over 40 our future’s not so bright But that’s okay Have a happy holiday You jam out songs, heartfelt songs, 90s songs, Canadian songs The best of songs, while I play bass and sing along Rockin’ hard in your apartment, we’re tragic in the hip department Shoulda hit the road, before your van got towed Then we’ll get sloppy drunk and laugh until we cry We are over 40 without kids husbands or wives But that’s okay Have a happy holiday Mismanagement thanks you for your concern You’d think that as one lives, so one would learn And one being two, we should be twice as smart And off the sauce, pass the gravy, you ol’ turkey, merry Christmas Then we’ll get sloppy drunk and laugh until we cry We are over 40 our futures are not bright We’ll get sloppy drunk and laugh until we cry We are over 40, each birthday brings a sigh Yeah I’ll get sloppy drunk and cry about my life I am over 40 without kids husband or wife But that’s okay I can’t afford them anyway…. Not on my pay… Yeah that’s okay We’ll deal with that another day Have a happy holiday
