Allston Christmas Carols

Festive Tunes For Our Neighborhood Holiday

Allston Wonderland

School is in, aren’t ya smilin’?
On the streets, trash is pilin’.
They’re all moving in
It’s happenin’ again
Walkin’ in an Allston Wonderland

Furniture, getting thrown out
Here to take, it’s all strewn out
But don’t take that bed!
Or bedbugs will spread!
Walkin’ in an Allston Wonderland

In the garbage rats will build a nesting
Confirm the reputation for our ‘hood
Where they nest the builders are investing
But unless you’re really rich it’s not that good

If you’re bold, grab a table
Might be old, or unstable
It’s all up for grabs
But might give you crabs
Walkin’ in an Allston Wonderland

Crusty The Punkman

Crusty the Punkman
Was a grumpy, smelly lad
He gets bounced from shows
So then off he goes
To bug folks on Brighton Ave.

Crusty the Punkman
Needs some cash to get a beer
So he starts to croon
And plays out of tune
On guitar for all to hear

Strum-a-dee Strum Strum
Strum-a-dee Strum Strum
Listen to Crusty play
Strum-a-dee Strum Strum
Strum-a-dee Strum Strum
I hope his dog’s okay

God Watch Your Fucking Moving Van

God watch your fucking moving van
Or else you’ll be dismayed
Remember if you’re double parked
They’ll write you up today
And if you’re parked illegally
A ticket you shall pay
And for fuck’s sake stay off Storrow (Stay off Storrow)
You can’t have a van on Storrow.

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like This Bus

It’s beginning to look a lot like this bus
Isn’t going to show
Take a look at my app again
Said it’d be here in 10
I could’ve started walking long ago

It’s beginning to look a lot like this bus
Won’t be here all
And I know it’s September first
But I’m sure it will get worse
For the whole damn fall

Silent Night

Silent Night
Ha! Yeah right
Drunk frat boys
Love to fight
Angry screams from over on Pratt
Why are you so mad you just got back
Please don’t fight on my street
Please don’t fight on my street

Silent Night
Not tonight
Yelling guy
Mad and white
Whatever your problem you don’t have to scream
Please no loud fights ’til at least Halloween
Sleep whenever they leave
Sleep whenever they leave

Sil’ For Beers

City Sidewalks, Busy Sidewalks
Full of moving day trash
In the air there’s a feeling, that this sucks
Got a U-haul, but it’s too small
And I want to move fast
Because once I’m unpacked I will need

Sil’ for beers (Sil’ for beers)
Sil’ for beers (Sil’ for beers)
It’s dart league night at the dive bar
Beer for me! (Beer for me)
Popcorn’s free! (Popcorn’s free)
It’s all I’ve eaten today

Rudolph The Red Faced Freshman

Rudolph The Red Faced Freshman
Had a little much to drink
He thought he could impress some
Now he cannot speak or think

All of the other freshman
Started drinking at sixteen
Rudolph thought he could keep up
But by now he’s turning green

Then one thoughtful party host
Came to him to say:
“Rudy, if you’re gonna gonna ralph,
Please do it outside the house.”

And how the neighbors hate him
When they get up the next day
Rudolph the red faced freshman
Puked along the whole walkway
