Amos Carter - Boogie-Woogie Santa Claus

Amos Carter is the first one of our artists to submit a Christmas holiday themed song, and we find out Santa wears Airpods as he does his work leaving gifts, and boogies to the beat he's hearing in his Airpods as he goes.  This is a big production for Carter, who usually plays with only his double bass, a guitar or two, and a piano. Boogie-Woogie Santa Claus was tried out in Amos' gigs, and the audience gave it a lot of applause. Amos does this with most of his songs, and this practice has given him some good songs to record, such as Slew Foot Stu Boogie. 

Carter had some problems a while back getting a piano player that fit in with his small group. He kept pestering his mother, a talented pianist, to join the band. Mams Carter is a recording artist in her own right, as she's recorded for Big And Tall Records before, with The Blues Done Got Me So Bad as a good example. Mams doesn't like playing gigs all that much, but she usually plays when the group records, as she does in this recording. 

We put out some feelers with our other artists, and there will most likely be more Christmas themes recording coming soon, as the season is upon us!

One Christmas Eve I stayed awake
To catch that jolly ol' elf
As he slid down the chimney
To fill stockings hung on the shelf

I was fightin' sleep really bad
When out the corner of my eye
A big fat guy in a red suit!
Santa Claus! It's true! Ain't no lie!
He had Airpods in his ears..

He was too fat for the chimney
Don't know how he got in the house
The way he was movin' his feet
Weren't tip toeing like a mouse!

Was boogying to the tree
Wigglin' and shakin' his ass
The Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
Was havin' himself a gas!

He got in his big gunny sack
Laid bunch of gifts under the tree
The he saw the treats and the milk
Sprawled on the couch ate the cookies

He was enjoyin' his work
Laid on the couch for a while
Then he jumped up with a start
Wasn't gonna cramp his style

Boogying next to the tree
Dancin' like he weren't a senior
The Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
Usin' a broom as a partner

(Boogie woogie Santa

Kept watchin' through the banister
He boogied his way with the broom
Jivin' and shuckin' with his feet
He made his way across the room

Then he got close to the door
Jiggled his big butt for a while
Then looked me straight in the eye
And disappeared with a smile!

Visions of Santa in my head
I sat up in bed full awake!
The Boogie Woogie Santa Claus
All a dream for heaven's sake!

As we all opened our gifts
On the frosty Christmas morn
I told the gang about my dream
What they said made me forlorn

But what could I say to all that
Already knew it wasn't true
And that fact was kind a sad
It made me feel a little blue

Then I came to a gift for me
Among Christmas paper wads
Tag said it was from Santa...
It was a pair of Airpods!
