about

I started this with a "Scott-style" in mind. A storytelling song with a relaxed tempo and heartfelt message. But once I found the story, it definitely leaned more "William" haha.

lyrics

William went down to the Walmart
He needed some laundry supplies
While combing the aisles
He stopped, and then smiled
When a special display caught his eyes
Now he’d heard about these festive pastries
Decided to pick up a box
But in one week’s time
Poor William would find
That his world would forever be rocked by

Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Gotta get more of those Christmas tree cakes
Filling and icing and sprinkles too
Willie wasn’t ready when Lil Debbie came through with those
Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Love at first bite and a bigger mistake
(Now he’s) willing to do
whatever it takes
To get more Christmas tree cakes

Next week he went to a Target
Assuming they’d be everywhere
He strided inside
And he almost cried
Only Christmas Tree brownies were there
(It’s not the same)
Dollar General said “They’re at Publix”
Publix says “nah…they’re at Sheetz”
Sheetz didn’t have them
But they definitely had them
At a station in Raleigh last week (ughhh)

Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Cutting out slices from his mental state
You don’t even notice there’s five per pack
They know what they’re doing
Cause they know you’ll be back for those
Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Where in the world are those Christmas tree cakes?
Next thanksgiving is too long to wait.
To get more Christmas tree cakes

William went back to the Walmart
The one where our story began
He stepped to the side
Then his eyes opened wide
As he thought up another new plan
Then William reached for his cell phone
And ordered with Amazon prime
And he walked out with glee
Knowing those cakes would be
On his doorstep in just two day’s time

Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Now he’s got more than a bakery bakes
Tracking the package, delivering soon
Clearing out the cupboard cause there’s not enough room for those
Christmas tree cakes, Christmas tree cakes
Love at first bite and a bigger mistake
Blame Debbie and Bezos
For Santa-sized weight
From all those Christmas tree cakes
