Ok I know it is kinda corny, but last night decorating the tree it was in the 20s with lingering snow on the ground when my wife put on a mix of Christmas CDs. When the Kenny Chesney version of "All I want for Christmas" played I could not get it out of head. So I copied his refain and added a verse. Let see how many frustrated caribbean soul songwriters we have. Cut & paste and add some lyrics. We will not be there for Christmas, but the first week of January cannot come fast enough ---------------------------------------------------- Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan? All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.

Christmas is coming- every child is hoping- dear old Santa will come calling
(Refrain) Ho ho ho, ho ho ho. How will Santa get here?
Promise from mama- promise from papa- that come Christmas there'd be many gift from Santa.
(refrain)
There is no reindeer in my country- He have to borrow me neighbor donkey
(refrain, repeat)
Musical interlude
The yard has no snow-the house has no chimney- so how will Santa really get to me?
(refrain)
If his house is so far- far from Antigua- how he's going to get across all that water?
(refrain)
There is no reindeer in my country- he have to borrow me neighbor donkey
(refrain, repeat)
musical interlude
Me mama wouldn't lie-me papa wouldn't lie- as you close your eyes Santa comin by
(refrain)
A big big bag of goodies-down for the West Indies- still I have a question- what's his transportation?
(refrain)
There is no reindeer in my country- he'll have to fly on LIAT or BWI!

I bought my sister (who is in love with Kenny Chesney), the Christmas CD of his, and a bottle of Cruzan rum cream for Christmas. She will go nuts! the rum cream is not available at alot of liquor stores. I hope she doesn't already have the CD.]]> Mountaineer girl Virgin Islands NowSun, 17 Dec 2006 21:07:41 -0500 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,46220,64999#msg-64999 http://www.vinow.com/wwwtalk/read.php?4,46220,64999#msg-64999Will appreciate all assistance on this

"The yard has no snow, the house has no chimney, so how can Santa really get to me?" and

But when they are celebrating the day, they'll feel the icy wind blow.

I'll sure think of them as I look North over the sea,

And in their bundled coats and hats they'll think of me.

The tired kids, covered with only a sheet, rest in their beds,

While visions of coconuts, coral, hermit crabs, distant islands, and Santa dance in their heads.

However my son is a REAL BIG Kenny fan!

He moved to STT back in May pretty much following the lyrics of Island Boy. So dad who hates country got the Be As You Are CD to see what Kenny was all about. Still not a big country fan, but when Kenny comes on I think of my island boy.

Kenny put out a Christmas album in 2004 - the song is track one. I added my verse to his refrain in hopes others would join in. Figured everyone could tell their favorite thing about the islands in lyrics

Don't tell my son - I starting to like Kenny

Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, Taj Mahal, Santana please forgive me

Ooooo, don't you think it's a pretty good plan?
All I want for Christmas is a real good tan.

We’ll hoist the sails set course to Maho Bay
let the sloop be our tropical sleigh
Walk on the shore listening to the blue water sound
just the two of us with no one around
Pop a bottle of chilled champagne, sit on beach
yeah mon this is paradise we have reached…
