lyrics

Dear Santa, Hope you get this letter and
I hope you can bring some great ska to me
My co-host Matt and our pal Gary

And more guests to bring on our podcast
Going in to the new year,
'Cause I want everyone to hear,
our show

It's so much fun to do!

Santa, there's more to add to my request
I just want an awesome scene for my friends
The rude, the weird, the punks, and the ones who dance

And all the folks that you see in the skank pit
though they can get a little rough
but we can't quite get enough,
good shows

I hate that but it's true

Can we get more tours with bands old and new?
Have more varied bills, and some more venues?
And more all ages too?

Saint Nick, sorry to go on so much
I'll just wrap it up in a little bit
Joke's wearing thin and no one gets it

In all the ways that I try promote ska
Could help that a few get through?
Happy Christams and Holidays
to you

I can't just stop here...
I won't just stop here...

I'd like to thank all of our fans
the patrons, and listeners and all the bands
You make my day when record
and release it out into the world
the tunes you bring, the love you give
time taken away from the life you live
to share with Matt and Gary and I
even Tara and Aaron from time to time
Thanks to the acts on this here comp
For blowing my mind at every stop
and if you're listening you'll perceive
that here's my heart upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I still believe in

It's Ska

-RJ
