Lyrics

Six cups of eggnog
Its all you'll ever need
So raise your glass
If you're half smashed
Yuletide guaranteed

As we gather around the tree
To celebrate the joy
I'm half dead
And what I dread
Is passing out the toys

Six cups of eggnog
Makes my nose rosy red
And it gets me in the Christmas mood
With a lamp shade on my head

Six cups of eggnog
Not a cup more
'Cause seven cups of eggnog
Will put you on the floor

Six cups of eggnog
Its all you'll ever need
So raise your glass
If you're half smashed
Yuletide guaranteed

Six cups of eggnog
Will get you through the day
You'll forget about the Christmas tree
And the holidays

Forget the cookies and candy
For they don't give a thrill
So I suppose Ill follow my nose
Down to the old gin mill

Six cups of eggnog
Is my favorite drink
That's clear
When Christmas will soon be here
Oh oh oh Christmas will soon be here

funny holiday tune, a bit pitchy IMO in the mid phrasing, but you finish phrases well. this may have a place in a film like national lampoon xmas! i like the backing track, all fashioned but well played. some of the lyrics a bit forced but what the hell, i like it for it's unique-ness! merry xmas!

Really well done!! The arrangement is perfect for the genre, and the singer nails that Sinatra/Dean Martin feel! I love this old standard type of song.

ha ha very funny

I really like this track. This must be a difficult genre to write something good in. And this is a good piece. I like the humor in the lyrics and hook is pretty good too. The instrumentation and arraignment are nicely played and put together. Great job writing this. Keep em coming. I hope I get to review more from this writer.
