North Pole Bank - (Original Song)

Yes, Christmas 2010 will be tough for many families this Christmas, but what about the man in the suit having to buy presents for millions? www.facebook.com/OrlaGartland Capo on 4 chorus: C-G-Am-F every other part: Am-C-F-G ***lyrics*** (I sing pretttty fast) Where will he get those toys For all them girls and boys What is there for Santa Clause to do Hes feeling helpless now The cause of many a row These hard financial times affect him too The elves had had enough Less than minimum wage is tough So saint nick had sent them on their way With no one to assist, Bills longer than the naughty list How on earth would poor Santa Clause pay Children all over the world, all countries, all races Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U ---Chorus--- Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank Well thats all good and jolly kids, but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank A lot on Santas plate, Mrs. Clause says lose weight But all this wasnt good for santys head That clunky old time sleigh, Was really past its day so Santa clause he bought a Porshe instead Borrowed the money from Rudolf and now hes charging interest rates, After being made redundant him and Nick no longer mates The systems falling apart, the children still in his heart, Oh where did this whole thing start? Children all over the world, all countries, all races Wake up demember 25th with disappointed faces None of them with a clue what poor Saint Nick has been through Underneath the Christmas tree is an I.O.U ---Chorus--- Spare a thought for Santa Clause this year Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates low low low Its pretty hard to spread that Christmas cheer Hes trying to make it better, he goes through all the letters Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank Well thats all good and jolly kids, but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank He says get out of my way Said I need a drink Sits down with a lager and a mince pie and that man begins to think SANTAS A CLEVER MAN Hes got a CLEVER PLAN A very very clever plan indeed Hell simply take the toys From OTHER girls and boys *bridge* Puts the key in the ignition and off he goes The Porshe flies through the air as it snows and snows Ann wants a Barbie doll, Mary has one of those The brother of Ann has an action man be sure to rob that while you can! The fat boy down the road, he wants a rocking horse Does the boy next door to him have one of those oh yes oh yes he does of course Satisfies the kiddies, with not a penny to pay, Move over baby Jesus, hes the saviour of the day So we can all celebrate Christmas this year Wont hear a ho ho ho exchange rates still quite low But its not hard to spread that Christmas cheer He tried to make it better, he went through all the letters Molly wants a dolly and John wants a tank Well thats all good and jolly kids, but my children there is just no money in the North Pole Bank I just randomly came up with the song title, wanted one that clearly explained what it was about but mine is kinda sucky so if anyone can think of a better title for this song leave it in the comments below J Im pretty proud of this one, so please rate, favourite and share with your friends! Lets make this a big you tube hit for Christmas! (Wrote this one back in february and had to wait til now to upload it! What a WAIT!) :) Copyright Orla Gartland 2009©

Yellow Wall! Tram track braces! It’s Baby Ginge! 😂🙈 Love it, hope you had a lovely Crimbo Orla! 💙

Don Newling

Thanks Orla, this is my new favourite Christmas song! I know how Santa feels I'm still feeling the effects of that recession. Happy new year!

Judge

Love the yellow wall and love political Orla! xxx

Gaëtan Perrault

Merry Christmas to all of us! This is so wonderful.

Ascetic

Aww, you're just a little baby in this.

Mian Cowell

Cor, I didn't see this coming! Bit different from anything else you've done.

Thomas Borgstrup

Yellow wall, braces, bad sound and singing with an Irish accent. This is nostalgia overload! 😁 This song is sooo good and deserves to be properly recorded and properly released. Maybe the timing wouldn’t be right for the upcoming EP, but perhaps as a “Very Brexit Christmas” 2019 single release...

Sonia O'Reilly

HAHA yesss i still remember it sooo well !! you were singing SO fast, what a flow!

Ava Downey

Won't hear a ho ho ho exchange rates are low low low is the lyric of our times lbr

Drew Tepper

I’m embarrassed to admit this is from before my OG time (fake hipster/og fan :D), which made it that much better. So much growth but also peppered with so much of you today obviously. Very cool.

Drew Tepper

Also No One else would’ve written this song. Bo burnham meets Ingrid Michaelson. 😂✌️👍

Jim Eh

THIS!

Ho Kate

I remember this!

Meru

So classic ... that's already retro 🤣

Don Newling

I know it's January but this song is brilliant! Orla you may not smile during the performance but to me it seems there are several moments where your facial expressions give an indication of what you're thinking - I may be wrong but if so I'm happy to remain deluded.

Phil Leith

Sometimes I forget how young you were and already had a good grasp on lyrics and storytelling.

Daniel

WOW how do you sing that fast? Also, Santa saved Christmas by.. stealing stuff?

Jean katherine McCormack
