"Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora" behind-the-scenes!

FREE DOWNLOAD - http://sleighrideinborabora.com

'50s throwback musical kitsch at its best, "Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora" is the best novelty holiday song since your grandma got run over by that reindeer! Recommended if you like the holiday classics "Mele Kalikimaka," "Christmas Island," and "Snow" (from White Christmas).

This zany behind-the-scenes video reveals the secrets behind recording "Sleigh Ride In Bora Bora." Video footage shot and edited by Dave Hedin.

LYRICS:

were not putting up with Old Man Winter
dont bother hanging up that mistletoe
pack it in the trunk with all our presents and a sleigh
forget that old snow shovel, cause were leavin here today

had enough of roasting all these chestnuts,
dont want Jack Frost nipping at our toes
Père Noël wont tease ya down in Old French Polynesia
its a sleigh ride in Bora Bora

well be drinking Bloody Marys in the sunshine on the beach
eating poi and hoping were not outside Santas reach
swimming with the fishies in the ocean blue and green
far from shopping malls and traffic jams and credit card machines

well still find a way to have our Christmas
stringing leis on palm trees by the sea
tie this rope around the sleigh, help me hitch it to the boat
we dont need no reindeer, and we sure dont need no snow
well turn this Bali Hai into a Bali Ho-Ho-Ho
its a sleigh ride in Bora Bora

hate to leave the gorgeous South Pacific
cant imagine all the cold back home
Winter in the tropics, so sublime and so serene
lets start planning now for Easter Island come next spring

one more holiday in romantic paradise
dancing to the drums beneath the stars
youll always be my sweetie while were sailing round Tahiti
on our sleigh ride in Bora Bora
its a sleigh ride in Bora Bora ...
its a sleigh ride in Bora Bora!
