about

Conceptual Note:
I’ve always feared the concept of an oral piercing gone wrong and imagined the compounded stress of its occurrence overshadowing someone’s holiday season...

lyrics

All year he thought about it
and finally made good on his plans
woke up the next morning
with words no one understands

It seems he’s lost all feeling
and his mouths not working right
on a straw based liquid diet
he’s looking at a silent night

Chorus:
Di dite my ton peyahts tah timahs
(He got his tongue pierced for Christmas)

Dowh I dunt noh whut tuh do
(Now he don’t know what to do)

Di dite my ton peyahts tah timahs
(He got his tongue pierced for Christmas)

Dan di teal blant and bloo
(And it’s still black and blue)

Diff pi tuhn doh back neh tyenuh
(If he could go back in time)

Iduh dinuh mitultoh datooh
(He’d get a mistletoe tattoo)

He tried sending Christmas cards
before he lost all hope
a slobbery mess was made
trying to seal the envelopes

Volunteering at the mission
brought about humiliation
slurred words were heard
arrests was made
public intoxication

Repeat Chorus

Mahmy Timahs!
