about

Perimeter Records vocalist Kim Turner was inspired by Woody Allen and Soon Yi Previn's unusual coupling in 1992 and wrote the melody and lyrics for the annual label Christmas compilation. To put her words to music, she brought on collaborant art school snaky-groove bassist Bryan Lilje of Pillowtexans and Ellen James Society. Add on noodly skronk unorthodox lead guitarist Steve Beach (Pillowtexans, No Exit, The Restraints, Vietnam, Submarine Landscaping, Helicopter Shampoo, Belvedere Plaza, The Shannon Limit). Rounding out drums is solid backbeater David "Zod" Watkins (Pillowtexans, Black Top Rockets, Engine).
Produced and engineered by David Watkins.

lyrics

Bring a torch, Jezebella
A torch with a greater spark
Sing my praises for aging hipsters
From the village, from Central Park
And they proclaimed her
The queen of Christmastime
The queen of Stardust Memories
The queen of his prime time

Christ! Lolita
Not born of Mia
Born in Manhattan, no
Born in Korea

Sweet little babe so tender
And having so much fun
An almond eyed wonder
And only twenty one
Peace on earth for the Lolita child
Peace on earth for mercy mild
Peace on earth for Soon Yi Previn
She drove him wild

Christ! Lolita
Not born of Mia
Born in Manhattan, no
Born in Korea

Sporting a woody at Christmas
There’s a brighter spark
Jewish messiah has travelled through Central Park
Oh please Daddy just keep your eyes shut
To hide the tears
Your favorite dish won’t be made this year

Christ! Lolita
Not born of Mia
Born in Manhattan, no
Born in Korea
