SANTA IS A MOD — Mark Cunningham & Rob Fricker

SANTA IS A MOD was written, produced and recorded by Mark Cunningham and Rob Fricker over a couple of evenings (fuelled by a large bottle of JD) at the latter's villa-based studio in Nice, South of France. It is the first-ever Mod Christmas anthem... although it's no more than a bit of fun!

MC: All vocals, guitars, bass, organ + sound FX.
RF: Drums + additional guitar + engineering.


SANTA IS A MOD
(Cunningham / Fricker) © 2009-2010 copyright control

Over the hills and far away
His scooter white with snow
He's towing presents on a sleigh
He's ready steady go
With desert boots and parka red
He flies across the nation
Gifts for all the old and young
Not just for my generation

Can you see him? (yes we can)
Can you feel him? (yes we can)
Can you hear him? (yes we can)
Can you touch him? (yeah!)

CHORUS
Everybody knows that Santa's a Mod
With all his Vespa lights on
He drops some gifts in Shepherds Bush,
In Southend and in Brighton
Everybody knows he's got a purple heart
And Santa's first name is Jimmy
His little helpers groove around the Christmas tree
It's the time to shout and shimmy

HE'S A MOD SANTA...HE'S A MOD SANTA

Its Christmas time at Wapping Wharf
And Santa's rolling Odorono
Getting in the festive swing
He's saved you his last Rolo
Deep joy's in store for Happiness Stan
There's a three button suit for Ronnie
Velvet hipsters for Ace Face Steve
And a pinball game for Tommy

Can you see him? (yes we can)
Can you feel him? (yes we can)
Can you hear him? (yes we can)
Can you touch him? (yeah!)

CHORUS
Everybody knows that Santa's a Mod
With all his Vespa lights on
He drops some gifts in Shepherds Bush,
In Southend and in Brighton
Everybody knows he's got a purple heart
And Santa's first name is Jimmy
Little helpers groovin' round the Christmas tree
It's the time to shout and shimmy

Stay cool this Yule!
