This song was an experiment in my Pub Songs Podcast. My goal was to write a song off the cuff. People would give me words and I would take those words and write a song. I think the words for this song were: Dr. Who, ladybug, hypernova, and mailbox. Overall, it kinda worked. I could see this episode.

I heard a loud sound outside my drugstore
So I stuck out my head
A man stepped out of a blue telephone box
And this is what he said,

"Last night, with the help of that mailbox
A hypernova gave birth
Last night with the help of that mailbox
I saved the planet earth."

He told me how an alien wrote a short letter
As an introduction to the human race
But when he licked the envelope, the glue touched his tongue
And a hypernova collapsed in its place.

This hypernova sent waves of destruction in its path
A ladybug was the first to see, it's true
She realized it could not pass through the steal mailbox
So she telephoned her friend, The Doctor. Who?

Well The Doctor he appeared outside the drugstore
The letter he dropped in the mailbox
Five minutes later he opened up the box and earth was saved
Then The Doctor was arrested by the cops. He cried...

Ah! What beautiful seventy-degree weather we're having. So much so, I was inspired to write a song. We recorded it on our CD "Christmas in Brobdingnag, Vol. 1".

There's no white Christmas day
less you drive a white Chevrolet
You won't hear sleigh bells ringing
less the Salvation Army is Santa-ing
In your...Christmas time in Texas.

And if you feel the holiday blues,
Go outside with no shoes
And when Santa Claus arrives,
He’ll be wearing SPF 45
In your...Christmas time in Texas.

O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
And if you hear Kris Kringle outside
His sleigh won't get stuck,
He's flying in style In his monster truck
During Christmas time in Texas.

So don't bother with Christmas lights.
Buy your cold winter clothing half-price.
Then the presents beneath your tree,
Will all smell just like mesquite.
In your... Christmas time in Texas.

O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
Santa, won’t come down your chimney
That’s not what their for,
In Texas we're friendly. He'll use the front door.
During Christmas time in Texas.

Christmas morning, you will hope
In your stocking, there's a new rope
Forget eggnog. Drink lite beer
As you wrastle your new steer
In your...Christmas time in Texas.

O The sun is shining bright.
Don't expect snowflakes tonight.
And if you hear in your chimney,
A man that is stuck.
Load up your shotgun. This stranger is Fu… in trouble.
During Christmas time in Texas.
