lyrics

Mister Candy Cane
written by Dan Blakeslee on 11.22.07 (Thanksgiving)

Oh listen to him play, on that old piano dressed in white.
Jingle bells upon his boots sang through the night... sweet silent night.
He took that wooden box, made it stomp like a Christmas parade.
The jumpin', jolly carols that he played made you glad you stayed.

He’s bouncin' on the keys makin' you believe.
Everybody stop and pause to see boogie-woogie Santa Claus.
He’s gotten very skinny from climbin' down the chimney.
He looks more like a candlestick though he says he’s old Saint Nick.

The rhythm over town made the treetops sway and swing.
The pack of goodies on his back he brings are the songs he sings.
So if you’re sliding down the lane where gingerbread houses and sugarplums reign.
Slow your toboggan for a joyous refrain from Mister Candy Cane.

He’s bouncin' on the keys makin' you believe.
Everybody stop and pause to see boogie-woogie Santa Claus.
He’s gotten very skinny from climbin' down the chimney.
He looks more like a candlestick though he says he’s old Saint Nick.
