The Westfield Free Parking Song

Believe it or not Jingle Bells, one of the most famous American Christmas songs, was originally written for Thanksgiving! The author and composer of Jingle Bells was a minister called James Pierpoint who composed the song in 1857 for children celebrating his Boston Sunday School Thanksgiving. The song was so popular that it was repeated at Christmas, and indeed Jingle Bells has been reprised ever since. The essence of a traditional Christmas is captured in the lyrics of Jingle Bells and the sound effects using the bells have become synonymous with the arrival of Father Christmas or Santa Claus to the delight of children of all ages!

Here are the lyrics to the song.  After the classic Christmas lyrics, The Fact of The Matter (TFoTM) has composed "The Westfield Parking" version in light of a recent shoppers parking experience downtown. 

Jingle Bells
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O'er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh


The Westfield Parking Song  (Sing these words to the Jingle Bells Melody)
Park your car downtown
Free parking, Christmas time
You'll smile, you will not frown
It won't cost you a dime
You leave you go to shop
To buy a gift or two
You walk back to your car to find
A tickets been issued


Oh, free parking free parking
Not free all the time
Park in a lot, not free its not
You better have a dime

Oh, free parking free parking
Its not you could get screwed
Park your car in a town lot
Don't pay they'll issue you!


Bah Humbug!
