1 . Well, what do you know, we\u2019ve only weeks to go,<\/p>\n

Till the mistletoe and the ho-ho-ho<\/p>\n

To the yuletide cheer and the reindeer
Santa will be coming baby don\u2019t you fear
Headin down the chimney to the Christmas tree
To leave a little something there for you and me, ho, ho-ho\u2026<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get the milk and cookies ready for action
    All for Santa\u2019s satisfaction<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    He\u2019s been a busy man and now Rudolph all a\u2019dashin<\/p>\n

    Rounding up the reindeer takes a measure of passion<\/p>\n

    Everybody\u2019s focussed there is zero distraction<\/p>\n

    And there\u2019s no doubt red\u2019s back in fashion, ho, ho-ho\u2026<\/p>\n

    .<\/p>\n

    C1.  Hey Santa where\u2019ve you been all year?<\/p>\n

    Won\u2019t you bring your Christmas cheer?<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re counting down the days till you\u2019ll appear\u2026<\/p>\n

    We may have been little naughty, but were mostly nice<\/p>\n

    So make your list and check it twice<\/p>\n

    We simply cannot wait till you\u2019ll be here<\/p>\n

    .
    3.  Well, what do you say we\u2019re just days away
    Crazy mad rush ahead of Christmas Day
    The elves and the helpers are happily stacking<\/p>\n

    All the toys into piles ready for wrapping
    They\u2019ll be loading all the presents up onto the sleigh
    There\u2019s a man on mission just to make your day, ho, ho-ho\u2026<\/p>\n

    C2.  Hey Santa where\u2019ve you been all year?<\/p>\n

    Won\u2019t you bring your Christmas cheer?<\/p>\n

    We\u2019re counting down the days till you\u2019ll appear\u2026<\/p>\n

    We may have been little naughty, but were mostly nice<\/p>\n

    So make your list and check it twice<\/p>\n

    We simply cannot wait till you\u2019ll be here<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Well, would you believe it\u2019s Christmas Eve<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And Santa\u2019s got a few tricks up his sleeve<\/p>\n

      He\u2019s dashing all over the world tonight<\/p>\n

      Sleighbells interrupting your Silent Night<\/p>\n

      The reindeer making magic as a team<\/p>\n

      Santa will be visiting you while you dream, ho, ho-ho\u2026<\/p>\n

      C3.  Hey Santa where\u2019ve you been all year?<\/p>\n

      Won\u2019t you bring your Christmas cheer?<\/p>\n

      We\u2019re counting down the days till you\u2019ll appear\u2026<\/p>\n

      We may have been little naughty, but were mostly nice<\/p>\n

      So make your list and check it twice<\/p>\n

      We simply cannot wait till you\u2019ll be here<\/p>\n

      We may have been little naughty, but were mostly nice<\/p>\n

      So make your list and check it twice<\/p>\n

      We simply cannot wait till you\u2019ll be here, ho, ho-ho\u2026<\/p>\n

      C  Music and Lyrics by Andy Hoyle<\/p>\n

      Andy Hoyle<\/strong> is a guitarist\/singer\/songwriter based in Cape Town, South Africa.<\/p>\n

      Since he began writing songs in the early eighties, he has generated a considerable body of original music which he intends sharing with all those who love his accessible, laid back, acoustic style.<\/p>\n

      Andy is firmly of the belief that the test of a good song is whether it can deliver its message with just a single instrument as accompaniment and not require fancy bells and whistles to prop it up. His music is often deceptively simple, but always melodic and meaningful.<\/p>\n

      He has written songs about a surprisingly wide variety of subjects, all influenced by an exciting blend of international singer\/songwriter styles and the rhythms of his African home.<\/p>\n

      Andy grew up surrounded by music and began playing piano from the age of six, continuing with his classical training as far as Grade 6 Piano. In high school he also played Clarinet and took jazz lessons with Merton Barrow at the Jazz Workshop in Cape Town.<\/p>\n

      During high school he decided to learn guitar and taught himself to play on an old Ace steel string guitar bought from the classified ads of a local newspaper. Whilst his mom resisted his newfound \u201cobsession\u201d with the guitar, he carefully balanced his studies with the long hours spent playing the guitar, and pursued his love of folk, pop and light rock music.<\/p>\n

      He began playing live in student pubs and restaurants around Cape Town whilst completing his degree at UCT in the late eighties. He steadily progressed to playing at live music venues all over Southern Africa, including Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, East London and Knysna.<\/p>\n

      Whilst working for a Knysna-based log home building company, he travelled widely for them, usually building way off the beaten track. His band equipment always went with him and this led to him performing in some unusual places such as Mtunzini, Cape St Francis<\/a>, Nature\u2019s Valley, and even the Chobe Safari Lodge in Kasane, Northern Botswana.<\/p>\n

      Andy has also performed for numerous weddings and corporate functions over the years and has played for the likes of Mitsubishi, Nashua, SAB, Mobil Oil Africa, Southern Life, NBS, Delloites, Myers Squibb, Triomed and Samcor to name but a few. In 1999, Norwich\/Fedsure invited him to provide the music for their \u201cTop Marketers\u2019 Tour\u201d of France which saw him travel by barge through beautiful French scenery whilst entertaining the delegates on board.<\/p>\n

      He continued performing regularly throughout the nineties before eventually calling it a day on live performance in the early 2000\u2019s to focus on family, his construction business, and other interests. He was occasionally coaxed out of retirement to play for a few Nippers fundraisers and Rotary wine auctions. All the while, he continued writing music and recording his original material in his home studio.<\/p>\n

      Now that the kids are older, Andy has been enjoying getting back into live performance. His live gigs include songs from the likes of Cat Stevens, Chris de Burgh, Simon and Garfunkel, Sting, Elton John, Don McClean, Peter Sarsteadt, The Eagles, Bob Dylan, Bill Withers and many other music legends\u2026all punctuated with his own original songs.<\/p>\n

      When the global pandemic put live performance on hold, Andy made use of the time during hard lockdown to release a critically acclaimed 14 track album entitled \u201cLiving In My Head.\u201d The album is available on most digital music platforms globally.<\/p>\n
