Bah humbug |
[00:25.52] |
No that's too strong |
[00:26.46] |
'Cause it is my favorite holiday |
[00:27.70] |
But all this year's been a busy blur |
[00:30.57] |
Don't think I have the energy |
[00:32.63] |
To add to my already mad rush |
[00:34.94] |
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season |
[00:36.68] |
The perfect gift for me would be |
[00:38.93] |
Completions and connections left from |
[00:41.36] |
Last year ski shop |
[00:43.11] |
Encounter most interesting |
[00:45.11] |
Had his number but never the time |
[00:47.35] |
Most of '81 passed along those lines |
[00:49.36] |
So deck those halls trim those trees |
[00:51.16] |
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer |
[00:53.54] |
I just need to catch my breath |
[00:55.60] |
Christmas by myself this year |
[00:57.97] |
Calendar picture frozen landscape |
[01:07.64] |
Chilled this room for twenty-four days |
[01:09.57] |
Evergreens sparkling snow |
[01:11.69] |
Get this winter over with |
[01:13.44] |
Flashback to springtime saw him again |
[01:16.06] |
Would've been good to go for lunch |
[01:17.93] |
Couldn't agree when we were both free |
[01:19.93] |
We tried we said we'd keep in touch |
[01:22.06] |
Didn't of course 'til summertime |
[01:23.43] |
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him |
[01:26.42] |
No this time it was me |
[01:28.11] |
Sunburn in the third degree |
[01:30.29] |
Now the calendar's just one page |
[01:32.47] |
And of course I am excited |
[01:34.28] |
Tonight's the night but I've set my mind |
[01:36.78] |
Not to do too much about it |
[01:38.59] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[01:59.74] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
[02:02.17] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[02:02.99] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
[02:06.11] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[02:08.04] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
[02:10.29] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[02:12.16] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year |
[02:14.47] |
Hardly dashing through the snow |
[02:16.21] |
Cause I bundled up too tight |
[02:18.28] |
Last minute have-to-do's |
[02:20.08] |
A few cards a few calls |
[02:22.27] |
'Cause it's r-s-v-p |
[02:22.89] |
No thanks no party lights |
[02:26.51] |
It's Christmas Eve gonna relax |
[02:28.57] |
Turned down all of my invites |
[02:30.38] |
Last fall I had a night to myself |
[02:32.75] |
Same guy called Halloween party |
[02:34.81] |
Waited all night for him to show |
[02:36.93] |
This time his car wouldn't go |
[02:38.93] |
Forget it it's cold it's getting late |
[02:40.99] |
Trudge on home to celebrate |
[02:41.98] |
In a quiet way unwind |
[02:45.23] |
Doing Christmas right this time |
[02:47.67] |
A&P has provided me |
[02:57.09] |
With the world's smallest turkey |
[02:59.27] |
Already in the oven nice and hot |
[03:01.40] |
Oh damn Guess what I forgot |
[03:02.77] |
So on with the boots back out in the snow |
[03:05.70] |
To the only all-night grocery |
[03:06.69] |
When what to my wondering eyes should appear |
[03:09.63] |
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year |
[03:12.06] |
I'm spending this one alone |
[03:13.43] |
he said |
[03:14.00] |
Need a break; this year's been crazy |
[03:15.87] |
I said |
[03:16.25] |
Me too but why are you |
[03:17.99] |
You mean you forgot cranberries too |
[03:19.80] |
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed |
[03:22.18] |
Caught on to what was happening |
[03:23.86] |
That Christmas magic's brought this tale |
[03:26.17] |
To a very happy ending |
[03:28.91] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[03:48.57] |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
[03:51.50] |
Merry Christmas Merry Christmas |
[03:53.38] |
Couldn't miss this one this year |
