about

I don't like fruitcake. No sir, I don't like it. But I like Truman Capote and I like Tones On Tail, so here's kind of a Christmas song incorporating all those things.

lyrics

It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
We gotta make the fruitcake
Before Christmas comes to town

Crack those pecans, tiny thunder rolls
Crack those pecans, tiny thunder rolls
Sweet ivory meat mounts in a milk glass bowl

Cherries and citron and ginger and vanilla
Canned pineapple, rinds, flour for a filler
Raisins and butter and eggs and spices
Walnuts 'cause you know that two nuts is twice as nices
The air's gettin' sweet, the old stove's a-glowin'
We got our whiskey from Mr. Ha Ha Jones
Mr. Ha Ha Jones

Look outside, the evening has begun
Look outside, the evening has begun
A mirror's what the window has become

Our tree is blazin' like a Baptist fire
Our tree is blazin' like a Baptist fire
Two drunken kites, we couldn't fly no higher

It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
It's fruitcake weather, get your buggy down
We gotta make the fruitcakes
Before Christmas comes around

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
