A Christmas song about Mellotrons

lyrics

All he wants for Christmas is a Mellotron
So I’ve written this song for Lord Zarquon
The Moody Blues had one and he wants one too
Though they’re expensive you know that’s true

He’s got lots of keyboards but you’ll hear him complain
That the price of a Mellotron is rather insane

Please can Lord Zarquon have a Mellotron
He’d play the damn thing all day long
The Moody Blues had one and he wants one too
Though they’re expensive you know that’s true

He’s got lots of keyboards but you’ll hear him complain
That the price of a Mellotron is rather insane

Dear Mrs Zarquon you could take out a loan
Or perhaps a large mortgage on your home
A Mellotron you could then buy
And great tears of joy you would see him cry

He’s got lots of keyboards but you’ll hear him complain
That the price of a Mellotron is rather insane

All he wants for Christmas is a Mellotron
I’m singing all about in this this song for Lord Zarquon
The Moody Blues had one and he wants one too
Though they’re expensive you know that’s true
Oh yes they’re expensive you know that’s true
They’re so expensive you know that’s true
