Christmas in the Country

Here's a song I came up with: Verse 1 In the warmth of love's sweet light, You shine, my guiding stars so bright. My wife, my soulmate, dear and true, Forever with you, my heart beats anew. Chorus Oh, my loves, you're the melody, That fills my heart with harmony. Hassan, sweet one, and my lovely wife, Together, our love will shine for life. Verse 2 Hassan's laughter echoes through the day, Your smile, my love, lights every way. In your eyes, my heart finds a home, With you both, I am never alone. Chorus Oh, my loves, you're the melody, That fills my heart with harmony. Hassan, sweet one, and my lovely wife, Together, our love will shine for life. Bridge Through life's joys and its troubled seas, Our bond will strengthen, wild and free. I promise to love, cherish and adore, Forever and always, my loves, more. Chorus Oh, my loves, you're the melody, That fills my heart with harmony. Hassan, sweet one, and my lovely wife, Together, our love will shine for life.

Come thou pack of every flavor, Come thou treat of pure delight, Streaming from the shelves so savory, Dot’s Pretzels, golden, crisp, and bright. Tune my heart to sing thy goodness, With each salty, buttery bite, Never fail to yield the pleasure, Of Dot’s, bathed in golden light. Here I raise my hands in worship, Not to heavens high above, But to you, dear Dot's creation, Sent to me with pure, crisp love. Prone to wander, far from wisdom, I find my path with this snack, Here's my heart, Oh, take and fill it, With pretzel love and cheese in fact. Oh, that cheesy, creamy texture, From the farm, a simple grace, Meeting salty, spiced perfection, In this moment, time and space. Dot's and farmer's, a combination, That my hungry soul can’t ignore, A testament to sweet and salty, A love I must forever explore. Let the snack’s sweet, salty presence, Draw my focus far from strife, Every bite a small adventure, A pure delight in daily life. Oh, to that great pack I’m clinging, With a love that knows no end, For Dot’s Pretzels and farmer's cheese, A gift from Heaven sent. Come thou pack of every flavor, Come thou treat of pure delight, May this snack forever nourish, My taste buds, sharp and bright. Praise the pretzel, praise the cheese, This holy union, blessed and true, For in this moment, I have tasted, Joy with every salty chew.

[Verse] En el claro del bosque ella se alzó Con los ojos de fuego y pasos firmes marcó A un príncipe gruñón del reino feérico Sin temor ni recelo Su corazón sincero [Verse 2] Con una risa amarga él la despreció De alas plateadas y mirada de dolor Mas su fuerza y coraje el desafío tomaron En el juego del amor sus destinos se hallaron [Chorus] Ella Sin miedo a la noche ni al día Él Atrapado en su cruel fantasía Bailando en la bruma de sueños perdidos Dos almas opuestas Unidas en latidos [Verse 3] Caminaban los senderos Las estrellas El rumor Donde los mundos se tocan sin pedir perdón Él lanzó sus hechizos de niebla y pasión Pero su valor rompió cada ilusión [Bridge] Los misterios del bosque se susurran al viento De amores envueltos en velo sangriento Las hojas caen El tiempo se entrelaza En la historia de una chica y su príncipe Sin caza [Chorus] Ella Sin miedo a la noche ni al día Él Atrapado en su cruel fantasía Bailando en la bruma de sueños perdidos Dos almas opuestas Unidas en latidos

[Verse 1] Thomas Riedy, known far and wide, They called him “Greedy,” with a twinkle in his eye. Said, “I’m lookin’ for a prize I can hold, Somethin’ mighty, somethin’ bold.” He chased his dream, couldn’t be swayed, Till he found the one he craved. But when he got what he was askin’ for, It knocked him flat on the floor. [Chorus] That hog was too big for my buns, Too much heat for this man to run. I thought I was ready, I thought I’d won, But it turned out I was overdone. Oh, the dreams of a greedy man undone, By a hog too big for my buns. [Verse 2] He bragged in bars and whispered low, “Wait till you see what I can show.” But when the moment finally came, Greedy Riedy wasn’t the same. He shook, he trembled, he gave his best, But that hog put his strength to the test. He bit the dust, couldn’t keep the pace, And left with shame all over his face. [Chorus] That hog was too big for my buns, Too much heat for this man to run. I thought I was ready, I thought I’d won, But it turned out I was overdone. Oh, the dreams of a greedy man undone, By a hog too big for my buns. [Bridge] Sometimes we ask for more than we need, The weight of want turns into greed. Now I sit here, tired and sore, Knowin’ I can’t handle any more. [Chorus] That hog was too big for my buns, Too much heat for this man to run. I thought I was ready, I thought I’d won, But it turned out I was overdone. Oh, the dreams of a greedy man undone, By a hog too big for my buns. [Outro] So take it slow, don’t rush too fast, Or you’ll find yourself outclassed. Greedy Riedy learned the hard way, son, Some hogs are just too big for your buns.

[Verse] In the forest deep Where shadows sway A prince of thorns lay in wait His eyes like embers Sharp as day Yet his cruel heart could devastate [Verse 2] She wandered in with a sly Bold grin A girl of spirit Wild and free The prince’s gaze caught her in sin A dance of fate Could it be? [Chorus] Beware Beware the faerie light It lures you in It holds you tight A love so dark It spurns the sun Yet night and danger are far from done [Verse 3] He spoke in whispers Soft and low Promises borne of forest night Her heart was fire Her spirit aglow Yet sensed the lurking fright [Verse 4] In his arms A deadly charm A poisoned love she could not see He’d drink her laughter Cause her harm A pact with darkness wasn’t free [Chorus] Beware Beware the faerie light It lures you in It holds you tight A love so dark It spurns the sun Yet night and danger are far from done

[Instrumental]

[Verse] Oh Harz and heartbeats lost in the trees Where every moment's sweet just you and me From Wernigerode to that mountain view Every kiss whispered I love you [Verse 2] We wandered trails the world forgot Hand in hand and time just stopped Beneath the canopy of emerald green In your eyes I saw every dream [Chorus] But it's the echoes in the silence And the heartbeat of the forest's guidance With every step we felt so free Lost together just you and me [Verse 3] The world outside could never reach Our hidden place our sacred beach Among the pines where secrets fell Every glance a tale to tell [Bridge] In the twilight's golden haze We built a world that time can't erase Your laughter was the song we chased In the whispering woods we embraced [Chorus] But it's the echoes in the silence And the heartbeat of the forest's guidance With every step we felt so free Lost together just you and me

(monkey sound effect) (Verse 1) Well, Sea Monkey Do, he’s on the prowl tonight, Got a craving for somethin’ that just feels right. He’s got a wild look in his eye, don’t you know, He’s huntin’ for that fruit, let the fever grow. Oh, Syler’s feelin’ that jungle heat, A funky monkey, swingin’ from his seat. He said, “I need it, baby, just one bite, That banana’s callin', I can't deny.” (monkey sound effect) (Chorus) Sea Monkey Do, there's a hunger in his soul, For that sweet, ripe banana, make him lose control. Monkeyin' around, it’s a funky little game, Syler’s cravin’ that fruit, and he’s not ashamed. Jungle fever's risin’, oh, can’t you see? That banana’s everything he needs to set him free. (Verse 2) He’s got the taste for somethin’ so sweet, Can’t wait to peel it, between his cheeks. He’s got the moves, yeah, he’s got the style, When he’s after that banana, you know he's wild. He said come on, baby, let’s make some noise, I’m a funky monkey, but I’m not playin’ boys. Give me that banana, right here, right now, I’m ready for the feast, I'm ready to chow." (Chorus) Sea Monkey Do, he's always on patrol, For that sweet, ripe banana, make him lose control. Monkeyin' around, it’s a funky little game, Syler’s cravin’ that fruit, and he’s not ashamed. Jungle fever's risin’, oh, can’t you see? That banana’s everything he needs to set him free. (Bridge) He’s got that monkey business on his mind, Can’t stop the rhythm, it's one of a kind. He’ll swing from the trees, make the night his own, with that banana, baby, he’ll never be alone. (monkey sound effect) (Chorus) Sea Monkey Do, there's a hunger in his soul For that sweet, ripe banana, make him lose control. Monkeyin' around, it’s a funky little game, Syler’s cravin’ that fruit, and he’s not to blame. Jungle fever's risin’, oh, can’t you see? That banana’s everything he needs to set him free. (fiddle solo) (Outro) So if you see Sea Monkey Do comin’ around, lay that banana right on the ground. Peel it slow, let the monkey take the lead, With Syler’s jungle fever, he'll take your seed.

(hounds howling sound effect) (Verse 1) Well, Johnny’s been down in Baton Rouge, With a Cajun grin and a devilish mood, He’s been eyein' me since the break of dawn, Now he’s sittin' there, tappin' his toe to my song. He’s got that fire burnin' deep in his soul, Says he wants to dance ‘round my bonfire's glow, But there’s somethin’ on his mind, and I can tell, That boy's got a hunger, oh, it’s raisin' hell. (Chorus) Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone, Down here in Louisiana, where the wild winds blow, He wants a taste of that Cajun heat, Moanin’ for a bone-ing, beggin' for meat. He’s dancin’ ‘round, tryin’ to get me alone, Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone. (Verse 2) He’s callin’ me sugar, callin’ me sweet, But when he looks at me, it’s a whole new beat, He wants a taste of that spicy gumbo, Ready to stir the pot, baby, let it flow. Got a fire in his heart, and his eyes are wide, He's startin' to drool 'cause he wants me inside, But when that boy whispers in his Cajun tone, I know what he wants—he’s beggin’ for my bone. (Chorus) Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone, Down here in Louisiana, where the wild winds blow, He wants a taste of that Cajun heat, Moanin’ for a bone-ing, howlin' in heat [hound dogs howling sound effect]. He’s dancin’ ‘round, tryin’ to get me alone, Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone. (Bridge) He says, “Sugar, you know what I need, I’m beggin' like a dog for that Louisiana seed, Let’s make some love that’s hotter than fire, I want to feel that Cajun desire.” I told him, “Boy, you better know, You ain’t gettin' nothin' until you put on a show.” He grinned and said, “I’ll follow you home, If you let me, baby, I’m be beggin’ for your bone.” (Chorus) Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone, Down here in Louisiana, where the wild winds blow, He wants a taste of that Cajun heat, Moanin’ for a bone-ing, shootin' that skeet [shotgun blast sound effect]. He’s dancin’ ‘round, tryin’ to get me alone, Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone. (short fiddle solo) (Outro) Yeah, Johnny’s beggin’, he’s down on his knees, Wants that Louisiana love all over his cheeks. Come on, baby, i'll make you moan, Johnny’s beggin’ for my bone.

[Verse] Underneath the glowing sky of dusk Whispers weave like winds through fallen leaves Footsteps echo soft on roads of trust Where silence speaks of things the heart believes [Verse 2] Stars above so scattered like a dream In the quiet there’s a song unsung Her voice a river flows within the stream Night’s gentle arms where every soul is rung [Chorus] Shadows dancing in the moonlight’s grace Every secret every glance we trace Hands like whispers touch but leave no place Moonlit paths where hearts begin to race [Bridge] Eyes like embers burning through the dark Words unspoken painting vivid art Moments fleeting yet they leave a mark In the silence lies a lover’s heart [Verse 3] Bathed in silver light we come alive Echoes of a love so sweet so deep In the hush of night our worlds collide Promises in dreams we’ll always keep [Chorus] Shadows dancing in the moonlight’s grace Every secret every glance we trace Hands like whispers touch but leave no place Moonlit paths where hearts begin to race
