Shitfaced for Xmas [Skunky​-​Lager]

from The Lost Beer Album by Beer

/

about

A moving duet by Skunky and Lager Beer.

Watch for the backwards bits in the middle. Remember backwards tape?

Legend has it that Skunky originally heard a drunken English reveler singing the refrain "Christmas Comes but once a year, and when it does I get pissed" on a trip to London in 1979, while watching Marc Bolan home movies in a rented room on the third floor of a pub along with a dozen members of the T. Rex Fan Club, before attending a midnight showing of 'Born to Boogie'.

lyrics

The days fly by / It's getting near
I think I hear Santa on the roof

Mom, please come quick! I know it's him.
Look there ... by the chimney ... Santa!

Shitfaced for Christmas.
3 sheets to the wind at Christmas time!

Christmas comes but once a year and when it does I get pissed [repeat]
Christmas comes but once a year
