Story Behind the Song
I played it all on this one.
Lyrics
VENTURA CHRISTMAS (P. Zolli)
well, the Scarecrow, he is crying ‘cos his lion has no name
but when I’m out here in the desert, well, it never is the same
and all the lonely people in the stores, thinking they can’t get enough
but when it comes Ventura Christmas - we’ll love
Ventura Christmas in the desert - chewing grass and rocks and things
we’re all waiting for the presence that He brings
Santa Claus, he come in riding on a hippo gecko in the air
late at night, we sit there laughing, knowing that he’ll soon be there
but the humans cannot understand that a Man has lived and died
but when it came Venture Christmas - we tried
Ventura Christmas in the desert - chewing grass and rocks and things
we’re all waiting for the presence that He brings
‘cos there’s no pine trees in the desert - just a highway in the sky
just Santa Claus and me, asking why
do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do
do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do
Ventura Christmas in the desert - ride that highway in the sky
just Santa Claus and me, asking why
do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do
do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do - do, do, do
