[00:45.59]Bah! Humbug! No...That's too strong.
[00:47.18]Cause it's my favourite holiday.
[00:49.32]But all this year's been busy blur.
[00:51.37]Don't think I have the energy.
[00:53.38]To add to my already mad rush.
[00:55.50]Just because it is the season.
[00:57.56]The perfect gift for me would be
[00:59.52]completion and connections.
[01:01.60]Left from last year,
[01:02.79]world tour aeroplanes and babies.
[01:05.68]Had his number but never the time.
[01:07.99]Most of '98 passed along those lines.
[01:09.94]So deck those halls, trim those trees.
[01:12.03]Raise up cups of christmas cheer.
[01:14.29]I just need to catch my breath.
[01:16.29]Christmas with my mates this year.
[01:18.84]
[01:26.68]Calendar picture, frozen landscape

[01:43.21]Didn't of course, 'Til the summertime
[01:45.31]out to the beach to his boat.
[01:46.89]Could I join him. No. This time it was me.
[01:49.33]Sunburn in the third degree.
[01:51.43]Now the calendar's just one page.
[01:53.40]And, of course , I am excited.
[01:55.55]Tonight"s the night,
[01:56.34]but I've set my mind.

[02:45.32]Cos I bundled up too tight.
[02:47.34]Last minute have-to-dos.
[02:48.98]A few cards. A few calls.
[02:50.92]Because it's R. S. V. P.

[03:03.97]Waited all night for him to show.
[03:05.91]This time his card wouldn't go.
[03:07.95]Forget it , it's cold it's getting late.

[03:26.56]with the world's smallest turkey.
[03:28.63]All in the oven, nice and hot.
[03:30.65]Oh damn, guess what I forgot?
[03:32.76]So on with the boots,
[03:33.88]back out in the snow to the only all night garage.
[03:36.92]When what to my wandering eyes should appear.
[03:38.93]In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year.
[03:41.31]Spending this one alone, he said.
[03:43.22]Need a break, this years been crazy.
[03:45.19]I said, me to, but why are you?
[03:47.37]You mean you forgot the papers too?
[03:49.35]Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:51.60]Caught on to what was happening.
