Great song & story… but very worrying... because we all believe in it, after all. 🫣😅

You've created a beautiful universal Christmas story for us  (even if gasoline is expensive here). I always love these guitar/vocal versions 🎅🎄🎄!!!

Really beautiful Christmas song, Joe. Love your acoustic versions , too. A very sublime performance and magical atmosphere! Keep it up, man! 😎🌟

yes! so happy to be seeing these acoustic version of yer latest tunes. And dang, what a subtle line you walk with the poignant, humorous, insightful, clever lyrics. One of yer strongest I'd say.

Hey Joe! Another very funny and cool song! Excellent!👍😎✌🏼🎅☃️🎄

Crying and laughing at the same time! Great social commentary with a holiday cheer.

Great lyrics Joe - all sadly true 🙏🙏

i see what you did there.  haha.  it's sadfunny how wild stories like you spin here sound about as possible as the actual stuff going on...

A stripped down  acoustic version of my song with just my Taylor 114ce guitar and my voice.

The North Pole was melting
And fearing a catastrophe
Santa hitched up his reindeer and flew to Washington DC

The Air Force saw him approaching
They scrambled a fighter jet
They almost shot him down before they realized he wasn’t a threat

They escorted him to the white house
To meet the president.
They posed for a photo together and then Santa Started to vent.

He said please mister president
I know you want to drill baby drill
But all those CO2 emissions are making the North Pole ill

He said I’m sorry Father Christmas
But I’m not interested in energy that’s green
it’s more important to me that we have cheap gasoline
And free Toys made by Elves in the North Pole sounds very nice
But you’re taking away American jobs, so I won’t take your advice

Then Santa said that since the ice will soon melt away
He asked the President if they could move to the USA

He said you and Misses Clause are welcome
because you look just like me
But we can’t have those pointy eared elves
Living here in the land of the free

So Santa flew back to the north pole
And sitting on the last patch of ice
Was a giant spaceship that even Elon Musk thought looked very nice
The Elves had built it while he was gone
tears of sadness ran down Santa’s face
And they all got on the ship, and they flew off into outer space

Now every Christmas Eve people look up at the sky
And they think about those good old days when Santa used to fly
Toys made by elves in the North Pole sure would be nice
But at least we get to buy our gasoline for a very cheap price.

The North Pole Was Melting (Acoustic)

Songs with a twinge of humor (and some a bit more serious).  
I do not use AI to create my songs.
