Leave it to The Front Porch Country Band to release the world’s first hit song about The DAY AFTER Christmas! The band really opens up and lets it rip on this one – with a full blast of “island” fun that will keep you rockin’ along (after the reflective prelude). Here’s the song that finally answers the age-old question: what DOES Santa do during his off-season activities? Now we know. Ho-Ho-Ho.

LYRICS:

The 26th day of December celebrations all are done
The candlelit nights, the Christmas lights – extinguished one by one
I met an old man the day after Christmas – Jolly Old Man in red
I asked if he got what he wanted for Christmas
Here’s what the old man said

He said:
No – No – No! Don’t throw it all away
Ho – Ho – Ho! Keep Merry Christmas Day
Go – Go – Go! Make a brighter way
Keep Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Day – Day – Day – Day!
Happy New Year! Happy Christmas! Happy Holiday!

I said to the old man, Santa
Tell me, did you have a good year
He said, son each Christmas is the best one ever
But I gotta get away from here

Headin’ down south to the islands
Gonna have a merry old time
Makin’ fun in the island sun
Dancin’ with that lady of mine
Never forget – no, you’ll never regret
Merry Christmas all of the time

He said:
No – No – No! Don’t throw it all away
Ho – Ho – Ho! Keep Merry Christmas Day
Go – Go – Go! Make a brighter way

Keep Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Day – Day – Day – Day!

Happy New Year!
Happy Christmas!
Happy Holiday!

I said Santa, how do you do it
Deliver all the Christmas joy
To every town and village
To every girl and boy

He said son my secret is simple
There’s magic in the Christmas cheer
Not one day – not one night
Christmas all of the year
And as he sailed away I could hear him say
Spread the Christmas cheer

He said:
No – No – No! Don’t throw it all away
Ho – Ho – Ho! Keep Merry Christmas Day
Go – Go – Go! Make a brighter way
Keep Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas! Day – Day – Day – Day!

Happy New Year!
Happy Christmas!
Happy Holiday!

Happy Holiday! Happy Holiday!
Happy Holiday! Happy Holiday!
Happy Holiday!
