I can’t find the lyrics to a Tim Cavanagh song called “Another White Christmas” anywhere on the web, although there are copius references to it in discographies. Bob & Tom recorded it, and it’s on several of their CD’s. I don’t know if it is available online, but it’s probably not a free link, so I won’t try to link it.
I need to find out the word(s) to complete the line near the end, “When Grandma says she’s chillin’, we give her more _______”
Anyone know this song and can fill in the blank?
I don’t want to prejudice anyone, so I won’t say what it sounds like to me, except my honky ears don’t hear anything that makes sense.
Very familiar with Tim & the Bob & Tom Show. Used to listen every morning when I lived in Illinois, but alas it’s not available in the Houston market.
I have a good friend that runs a comedy club and he speaks very highly of Tim Cavanagh and how easy he is to work with. Have you tried asking Tim for the lyrics? There is a contact Tim link on his website.
I’ve met Tim on several occasions, and can vouch for how easy and accessible he is. The first time I ever met him was after he’d performed at a local comedy club. I knew him from Dr. Demento’s show, and had loved the song I Wanna Kiss Her But (She Won’t Let Me).
I had the chance to talk to him after show (I was a comedy club, which is how I got into doing stand-up), and expressed disappointment that he hasn’t performed the song I was most familiar with. So he pulled out his guitar, and sang it just for me and my friends.
We emailed him a few days ago, and it’s good to hear that he is approachable. But not knowing how likely it was to get a reply, especially over the holidays, I decided to ask the world’s best lycicists as well.
That makes sense, but the second syllable on the CD sounds more like “oo” than “oh”. Here are the last lines:
When Santa points at my three sisters and says, “Ho, ho, ho!”
No offense is taken, cause we’re honkies, don’t you know?
When Grandma says she’s chillin’, so we give her more…
Phonetically, it sounds like the singer is saying “poh-pooh” or “koh-kooh”, but “cocoa” would match the rhyme better. At least if you pronounce it “koh-koh,” which I would.
Thinking from a subject point of view, Grandma could be given a shawl, a blanket, liquor, or a warm drink, so cocoa fits the bill. It just doesn’t sound like what they are saying.
In the spirit of fair use and research, I have posted 20 seconds only of the song here in mp3 form.
