[00:47.62]“bah, humbug!” no, that's too strong
[00:49.21]'cause it is my favorite holiday
[00:51.09]but all this year's been a busy blur
[00:53.49]don't think i have the energy
[00:55.25]to add to my already mad rush
[00:57.62]just 'cause it's 'tis the season.
[00:59.39]the perfect gift for me would be
[01:01.58]completions and connections left from
[01:03.97]last year, ski shop,
[01:05.68]encounter, most interesting.
[01:07.77]had his number but never the time
[01:09.87]most of '81 passed along those lines.
[01:11.98]so deck those halls, trim those trees
[01:14.13]raise up cups of christmas cheer,
[01:15.99]i just need to catch my breath,
[01:18.25]christmas by myself this year.
[01:20.77]
[01:28.01]calendar picture, frozen landscape,
[01:30.30]chilled this room for twenty-four days,
[01:32.15]evergreens, sparkling snow
[01:34.26]get this winter over with!
[01:35.62]flashback to springtime, saw him again,
[01:38.28]would've been good to go for lunch,
[01:40.51]couldn't agree when we were both free,
[01:42.56]we tried, we said we'd keep in touch.
[01:44.50]didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
[01:46.48]out to the beach to his boat could i join him?
[01:49.14]no, this time it was me,
[01:50.74]sunburn in the third degree.
[01:52.75]now the calendar's just one page
[01:54.97]and, of course, i am excited
[01:56.74]tonight's the night, but i've set my mind
[01:59.03]not to do too much about it.
[02:01.86]
[02:28.63]merry christmas! merry christmas!
[02:30.22]but i think i'll miss this one this year.
[02:32.57]merry christmas! merry christmas!

[02:45.36]a&p has provided me
[02:46.56]with the world's smallest turkey
[02:48.31]already in the oven, nice and hot
[02:50.71]oh damn! guess what i forgot?
[02:52.60]so on with the boots, back out in the snow
[02:54.85]to the only all-night grocery,
[02:56.63]when what to my wondering eyes should appear
[02:58.98]in the line is that guy i've been chasing all year!
[03:01.04]“i'm spending this one alone,” he said.
[03:03.16]“need a break; this year's been crazy.”
[03:04.93]i said, “me too, but why are you?
[03:07.17]you mean you forgot cranberries too?”
[03:09.38]then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:11.32]caught on to what was happening
[03:13.12]that christmas magic's brought this tale
[03:15.54]to a very happy ending! ”
