WISHIN’ IT WERE XMAS
Ted Wulfers
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
‘Cause it’s my favorite time of year
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
An’ pretty soon it will be here
Twinkling lights on all the houses
Jingle bells in the air
And dreams filled with presents
Hoping that they will be there
They’ll be there
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
‘Cause it’s my favorite time of year
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
An’ pretty soon it will be here
Decorations by the fire
Pretty stockings, pretty tree
And carols and eggnog
Singin‘ along with glee
Sing with me
And don’t you wanna have a happy holiday
And don’t you never wanna wanna let it get away
Oh today
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
‘Cause it’s my favorite time of year
Oh and how I am wishin’ it were Xmas
An’ pretty soon it will be here
So let’s all have a cup of cheer
Merry Xmas, Happy New Year!

WHAT WOULD SANTA DO?
Ted Wulfers
Uh Haw, Haw, Haw, Haw
Ho, Ho, Ho
Your baby says she got a bad case of the Xmas blues
All she wants is a night alone and you
Better think to yourself, what would Santa do?
Your baby don’t want no diamonds or perfume
She wants something big and hot to light her fuse
Better think to yourself, what would Santa do?
Well he’d sneak into her house in the middle of the night
He’d give her lots of presents and make her feel so right
Leave before the mornin’ just like the time before
An’ then he’d head over to the house next door
Whoa, what would Santa do?
Well you’d better believe if you’ve got the Xmas blues
Baby, baby, baby, baby have you heard the news
Come on everybody, what have you got to lose
Better think to yourself, what would Santa do?
Well he’d sneak into her house in the middle of the night
He’d give her lots of presents and make her feel so right
Leave before the mornin’ just like the time before
An’ then he’d head over to the house next door
Whoa, what would Santa do? Oh yeah
Well you’d better believe if you’ve got the Xmas blues
Yeah you got the Xmas blues, you got the Xmas blues
You got the Xmas blues, you got the Xmas blues
Better think to yourself, what would Santa Do?
You got the Xmas blues, She got the Xmas blues
He got the Xmas blues, everybody got the Xmas blues
Better think to yourself….What Would Santa Do?
What Would Santa Do?
Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho

MISTLETOES
Ted Wulfers
Well I wish there were some mistletoe around here
So I could lay a kiss on you
Oh and if there were some mistletoe around here
Ain’t no tellin’ just what I’d do
I got boughs of holly, I even brought my stocking
And the presents are under the tree yeah
Well I’ve been a real good bad boy this year
An’ I wish there were some mistletoe ’round here
I got boughs of holly, I even brought my stocking
And the presents are under the tree yea
Well I’ve been a real good bad boy this year
An’ I wish there were some mistletoe ’round here
Well I wish there were some mistletoe around here
So I could lay a kiss on you
Oh and if there were some mistletoe around here
Ain’t no tellin’ just what I’d do
I got boughs of holly, I even brought my stocking
And the presents are under the tree yeah
Well I’ve been a real good bad boy this year
An’ I wish there were some mistletoe ’round here

THE DITTY BOP HOP
Ted Wulfers
Kick off yer shoes and get yer feet dirty
To the sound of the 30s so hot
Your body’s in motion with a satiating potion
It’ll cause a commotion that’ll hit the spot
Well uh, oh Joe, I gotta go to the Parlour on a Friday night
The Ditty Bops are playin’, all the people there are sayin’
It’s the best good time in town that’s right
Oh, take me on a moonbeam
Oh, Take me on a star
Take me where you want to go
I got two girls on my arm
Well uh oh pokes and bad mouth jokes
Big Mama will get you done
Then there’s the sites and the fine delights
Of Summer Peaches, oh what fun
But the girls on stage, they are the rage
With the bass man on the floor
Singin’ so sweet with a fancy beat
You’ll be screamin’ an hollerin’ more more more
Oh, take me on a moonbeam
Oh, Take me on a star
Take me where you want to go
I got two girls on my arm
It’s so fancy to be dancing
It’s so fancy to be dancing
A beautiful night to be oh romancing
It’s so fancy to be dancing
Kick off yer shoes and get yer feet dirty
To the sound of the 30s so hot
Your body’s in motion with a satiating potion
It’ll cause a commotion that’ll hit the spot
Well uh, oh Joe, I gotta go to the Parlour on a Friday night
The Ditty Bops are playin’, all the people there are sayin’
It’s the best good time in town that’s right
Oh, take me on a moonbeam
Take me on a star
Take me where you want to go
I got two girls on my arm
I got two girls on my arm
I got two girls on my arm

SAN LUIS OBISPO
Ted Wulfers
Well I have been to every town, my music lets me roam And I had yet to find a place to ever call my home ‘Twas then I met a pretty girl, her name was Lindsey Rei One look in her big blue eyes, I knew I had to stay
In San Luis Obispo Well that’s where I wanna go (Take it SLO) Where the mountains meet the deep blue sea In San Luis Obispo Well that’s where I wanna go (Take it SLO) It’s the only home for me
Well it was finally settled back in 1856 And who back then would ever guess or dare to predict The party scene that’s goin’ strong on Higuera Street Singing, drinking, loving, dancing, lots of happy feet
CHORUS
And you can take the time to get away
You can sing and play
So let’s all go today
We’ll have a holiday
Well you can have your southern towns, Diego or LA And you can have some crazy fun in San Francisco Bay But when I want to settle down from places where I play Bet your bottom dollar, I’ll be there with Lindsey Rei
CHORUS

THE HANUKKAH BLUES
Ted Wulfers / Aaron Weistrop
If you’re havin’ a blue Xmas well I got some news for you
If you’re havin’ a blue Xmas well I got some news for you
I got eight lonely days, I got the Hanukkah blues
Looky here
My woman spun me like a dreidel an’ she treated me like a fool
My woman spun me like a dreidel an’ she treated me like a fool
She took all my gelt and left me with the Hanukkah blues
Yes she did
Each candle on the Menorah marks the days she’s been gone
Latke oil scalds my arm, what has this maccabee done wrong?
If my life were a dreidel, I’d be spun to loose
Now you know why I got the Hanukkah blues
If you’re havin’ a blue Xmas, one lonely day will do
If you’re havin’ a blue Xmas just one lonely day will do
I got eight lonely days, I got the Hanukkah blues
I got the Hanukkah blues

UKULELE XMAS
Ted Wulfers
I just wanna say I love you on Xmas day
May be far away but you’re on my mind
I wish you were as close to me as this ukulele
So I could hold you in my arms, in my arms
All night long
I just wanna say I love you on Xmas day
May be far away but you’re on my mind
I wish you were as close to me as this ukulele
So I could hold you in my arms, in my arms
All night long
Xmas in an island town
Where the natives really like to boogie down
I just wanna say I love you on Xmas day
I may be far away but you’re on my mind
I wish you were close to me
So I could hold you, I could hold you
All night long

XMAS IN A BAR
Ted Wulfers
It’s Love Actually or a Wonderful Life
It’s a Christmas tree and the twinkling lights
But that’s not for me ’cause I don’t have a kid or a wife
So I’ll be spending Xmas in a bar
Yeah, it’s Xmas in a tavern and the same ol’ story goes
By 2a.m. I’ll ready redder redder than ol’ Rudolph’s nose
And if Santa gets a D.U.I. well that’ll be okay
‘Cause we’ll just all take turns cruising ’round in Santa’s sleigh
It’s Xmas in a tavern, let’s all have a beer
Another round of whiskey’s the best gift I got all year
I’m drinkin’ with my friends, at least they say they are
An’ that’s why I spend Xmas in a bar
Well some folks open presents and eat food all day long
And other have their families and sing the Xmas songs
Some folks go-a-caroling all around the town
I’m just sittin’ on this stool ordering a round
‘Cause it’s Xmas in a tavern, let’s all have a beer
This girl’s Xmas stockings’ the best gift I got all year
I’m drinkin’ with my friends, at least they say they are
An’ that’s why I spend Xmas in a bar
Well I sang “Happy Birthday” at my show on Xmas day
Jesus and Jimmy Buffett would have wanted it that way
And I listen to the stories of the men following the star
How ’bout another three wisemen!
As I spend Xmas in a bar
It’s Xmas in a tavern, let’s all have a beer
Another round of Jaeger’s the best gift I got all year
I’m drinkin’ with my friends, at least they say they are
An’ that’s why I spend Xmas in a bar
It’s Xmas in a tavern, let’s all have a beer
Another round of eggnog’s the best gift I got all year
I’m drinkin’ with my friends, at least they say they are
An’ that’s why I spend Xmas, that’s why I spend Xmas
That’s why I spend Xmas…
In a bar
