"Bah, humbug" no, that's too strong 'Cause it is my favorite holiday But all this year's been a busy blur Don't think I have the energy To add to my already mad rush Just 'cause it's 'tis the season The perfect gift for me would be Completions and connections left from Last year, ski shoppin' Encounter, most interesting Had his number but never the time Most of '81 passed along those lines So deck those halls, trim those trees Raise up cup's of Christmas cheer I just need to catch my breath Christmas by myself this year Calendar picture, frozen landscape Chilled this room for twenty-four days Evergreens, sparkling snow Get this winter over with Flashback to springtime, saw him again Would've been good to go for lunch Couldn't agree when we were both free We tried, we said we'd keep in touch Didn't, of course, 'til summertime Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? No, this time it was me Sunburn in the third degree Now the calendar's just one page And, of course, I am excited Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think, I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think, I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think, I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas But I think, I'll miss this one this year Hardly dashing through the snow 'Cause I bundled up too tight Last minute have to do A few cards a few calls 'Cause it's "RSVP" No thanks, no party lights It's Christmas eve, gonna relax Turned down all of my invites Last fall I had a night to myself Same guy called, Halloween party Waited all night for him to show This time his car wouldn't go Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late Trudge on home to celebrate In a quiet way, unwind Doing Christmas right this time. "AP" has its pride in me With the world's smallest turkey Already in the oven, nice and hot Oh damn! Guess what I forgot? So on, with the boots, back out in the snow To the only all-night grocery When what to my wondering eyes should appear In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year "I'm spending this one alone," he said "Need a break, this year's been crazy" I said, "Me too, but why are you? You mean you forgot cranberries too?" Then suddenly we laughed and laughed Caught on to what was happening That Christmas magic's brought this tale To a very happy ending Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas Couldn't miss this one this year

Once, there was this guy who Dressed up in a red suit and he had a big white beard And when, he hopped on his sleigh It, shook, and reindeer flew through the night sky They said that it was Rudolph whose nose was shining Sooooooooo briiiiiight Ho ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho Once, there were these elves who Lived up in the North Pole where they made a bunch of toys And when, they finally made them They, wrapped, and put the toys in the sleigh's trunk They couldn't quite explain it They'd always just donnnnne thattttt Ho ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho And those girls, and boys were glad When they got a newwww iPad Once, there was this kid who Thought that he was too cool to believe in Santa Claus But when, he tiptoed downstairs He, saw, a shadow fly up the fireplace He couldn't quite explain how The reindeer tracks had gotttt therrrre Ho ho ho ho, ho ho ho ho

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some Mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to sleep tonight They know that Santa's on his way He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh And every mother's child is gonna spy To see if reindeer really know how to fly And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from 1 to 92 Although its been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you... *music* {10 stanzas} And so I'm offering this simple phrase To kids from 1 to 92 Although its been said Many times, many ways Merry Christmas to you...

I don't care what your momma says Christmas time is near I don't care what your daddy says Christmas time is dear All I know is Santa's sleigh is making it's way to the USA I don't care what the newsman says Christmas is full of cheer I don't care if you think it's a lie Christmas will soon be here I don't care about anything Except hearing them sleighbells ring-a-ding-ding I wish it was Christmas today I wish it was Christmas today

When I was small I believed in santa claus Though I knew it was my dad And I would hang up my stocking at christmas Open my presents and I'd be glad But the last time I played father christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor They said: Father christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys. Well beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys Don't give my brother a steve austin outfit Don't give my sister a cuddly toy We don't want a jigsaw or monopoly money We only want the real mccoy Father christmas, give us some money Well beat you up if you make us annoyed Father christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys But give my daddy a job cause he needs one Hes got lots of mouths to feed But if youve got one, I'll have a machine gun So I can scare all the kids down the street Father christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Well beat you up if you don't hand it over Give all the toys to the little rich boys Have yourself a merry merry christmas Have yourself a good time But remember the kids who got nothin While you're drinkin down your wine Father christmas, give us some money We got no time for your silly toys Well beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread, so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys
