[00:24.42]"Bah, humbug" no, that's too strong
[00:50.28]'Cause it is my favorite holiday
[00:52.47]But all this year's been a busy blur
[00:54.42]Don't think I have the energy
[00:56.52]To add to my already mad rush
[00:58.53]Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
[01:00.69]The perfect gift for me would be
[01:02.58]Completions and connections left from
[01:04.95]Last year, ski shoppin'
[01:06.96]Encounter, most interesting
[01:09.06]Had his number but never the time
[01:11.13]Most of '81 passed along those lines
[01:12.99]So deck those halls, trim those trees
[01:15.33]Raise up cup's of Christmas cheer
[01:17.40]I just need to catch my breath
[01:19.44]Christmas by myself this year
[01:29.37]Calendar picture, frozen landscape
[01:31.47]Chilled this room for twenty-four days
[01:33.51]Evergreens, sparkling snow
[01:35.55]Get this winter over with
[01:36.87]Flashback to springtime, saw him again
[01:39.78]Would've been good to go for lunch
[01:41.79]Couldn't agree when we were both free
[01:43.62]We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
[01:45.75]Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
[01:48.12]Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
[01:50.19]No, this time it was me
[01:52.11]Sunburn in the third degree
[01:54.21]Now the calendar's just one page
[01:56.19]And, of course, I am excited
[01:58.29]Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
[02:00.24]Not to do too much about it
[02:01.02]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:31.86]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:34.92]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:35.97]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:39.00]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:40.02]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:42.42]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:44.13]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:46.02]Hardly dashing through the snow
[02:47.94]'Cause I bundled up too tight
[02:50.04]Last minute have to do
[02:51.87]A few cards a few calls
[02:53.61]'Cause it's "RSVP"
[02:56.40]No thanks, no party lights
[02:58.32]It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
[03:00.48]Turned down all of my invites
[03:01.98]Last fall I had a night to myself
[03:04.62]Same guy called, Halloween party
[03:06.72]Waited all night for him to show
[03:08.73]This time his car wouldn't go
[03:10.59]Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
[03:12.84]Trudge on home to celebrate
[03:14.82]In a quiet way, unwind
[03:17.07]Doing Christmas right this time.
[03:18.75]"AP" has its pride in me
[03:28.83]With the world's smallest turkey
[03:30.93]Already in the oven, nice and hot
[03:33.00]Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
[03:34.98]So on, with the boots, back out in the snow
[03:37.11]To the only all-night grocery
[03:39.09]When what to my wondering eyes should appear
[03:41.22]In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
[03:43.38]"I'm spending this one alone," he said
[03:45.42]"Need a break, this year's been crazy"
[03:47.46]I said, "Me too, but why are you?
[03:49.41]You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
[03:51.63]Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:53.64]Caught on to what was happening
[03:55.68]That Christmas magic's brought this tale
[03:57.78]To a very happy ending
[04:27.90]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:28.56]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:29.31]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:29.97]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:31.26]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:31.92]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:32.52]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:34.11]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:37.47]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas

[04:42.48]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:46.17]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:47.04]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:49.68]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
