Hooray it's Christmas time | |
But there's one lousy tradition | |
There's a certain show that you will see | |
That is all and many would agree | |
It is time to find another show to substitute for the Nutcracker | |
I'm watching the game but something's wrong | |
Staring is my wife her face looks long | |
I know that look, it must be me | |
It's not our anniversary | |
I shrug, no clue | |
What did I do? | |
She stands in disbelief | |
What? | |
This holiday scene brings no laughter | |
Forced going to see the Nutcracker | |
I try to block it from my mind | |
Think fast, what reason can I find | |
Got work to do, I'll fake the flu | |
No chance, I'm done, I'm screwed | |
I've seen the Nutcracker 20 times | |
Sure it is fun if you are four | |
But don't call me a scrooge 'cause it's a bore | |
The story's dated and that masking thing freaks me out | |
Well, guess I'm a guy, what can I say? | |
I'd rather watch football than ballet | |
I tried my hardest not to groan | |
And pulled the score up on my phone | |
As I complained, it's not the same, we're rushing out the door | |
All holiday shoppers on the road | |
My holiday spirit might explode | |
Of course there is no place to park | |
We're late, the theatres in the dark | |
In no small feat, we find the seat, the shows about to start | |
Here's that song from Tetris | |
And I know it's the part when I fight not to fall asleep | |
March the wooden soldiers, bunch of mice | |
Start the fight, land of sweets, man this stuff's trippy | |
By the way this story makes no sense | |
Still don't know what it means after all these years | |
So confusing, feel like snoozing | |
Eyes are heavy, as I start to dream | |
Bolt wide awake, must've fallen asleep | |
Guess I didn't snore or make a peep | |
'Cause my wife had no clue I had been out cold | |
It's the finale coming up | |
'Cause there is no beer left in my cup | |
To make it through I'll need another drink | |
Snuck out to the lobby, oh look I found a TV | |
I forgot the game was happening | |
It's down to the wire, time will soon expire | |
Down by one this kick would win it | |
Hut hut! The ball snagged – oh no! | |
The kick's bad, right, right! | |
No! We lost | |
No! How could this night get any worse? | |
Now I'm feeling all depressed | |
But I still have to act impressed | |
A pirouette, oh wow that's great | |
A six year old could do that too | |
So my team lose at the bar | |
Now dancing dudes in leotards | |
Last Nutcracker hopefully | |
But my wife's thinking differently | |
She leans in closely, whispers softly | |
Can't wait for you to take me next year |
