So, I wrote this song in 2016 and just sat waiting to release it because I love it so much and I wanted to do a good job of recording it and making the video. But, I thought I'd procrastinated for long enough, so here's the song. I loved writing and recording this song so much! I hope I'll get to perform it live one day!
lyrics
Oh, it’s hard to be a Christmas Wrapper
I’m on the front line making your presents look more dapper
Smooth me over your gifts let my pretty paper cover it
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper
If it’s a square box, then I’m in my prime
Smooth me over the edges and I’ll make it look divine
Maybe pop a ribbon around my middle use a bow to snazz me up just a little
Oh, I bet you ain’t never seen a present look so fine!
Oh, it’s hard to be a Christmas Wrapper
I’m on the front line making your presents look more dapper
Smooth me over your gifts let my pretty paper cover it
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper
Sometimes wrapping onesies can be kinda tricky
Those corners can be real tough for sticking
But I manage it because I’m a professional
And I make those onesie presents look super swell
Oh, it’s hard to be a Christmas Wrapper
I’m on the front line making your presents look more dapper
Smooth me over your gifts let my pretty paper cover it
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper
Wrapping bottles of wine is super hard isn’t it?
Getting round those curves is tough, but I do my best at it
Try to hide that it’s a wine and make it look like a champagne WOAH
But, what do I do with the top bit? Oh no!
Oh, it’s hard to be a Christmas Wrapper
I’m on the front line making your presents look more dapper
Smooth me over your gifts let my pretty paper cover it
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper
Yes, I’m a Christmas Wrapper
I’m here making your presents look dapper
When you open me, you couldn’t be happier
Oh, I love being a Christmas Wrapper
But what happens when you’ve unwrapped your gift
Do you scrunch me up and toss me in the bin quick?
I feel so sad, I thought I was a hit
Then I’m out in the trash like a piece of rubbish
Oh, it’s hard to be a Christmas Wrapper
I’m on the front line making your presents look dapper
Smooth me over your gifts let my pretty paper cover it
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper
Oh yeah, that’s me a snazzy Christmas Wrapper x 2
Snazzy Christmas Wrapper YEAH!
