[00:16.590] |
"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong |
[00:18.150] |
'Cause it is my favorite holiday |
[00:19.890] |
But all this year's been a busy blur |
[00:22.060] |
Don't think I have the energy |
[00:24.040] |
To add to my already mad rush |
[00:26.110] |
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season. |
[00:27.850] |
The perfect gift for me would be |
[00:30.100] |
Completions and connections left from |
[00:32.370] |
Last year, ski shop, |
[00:34.080] |
Encounter, most interesting. |
[00:36.140] |
Had his number but never the time |
[00:38.130] |
Most of '81 passed along those lines. |
[00:40.090] |
So deck those halls, trim those trees |
[00:41.900] |
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer, |
[00:44.160] |
I just need to catch my breath, |
[00:46.040] |
Christmas by myself this year. |
[00:56.200] |
Calendar picture, frozen landscape, |
[00:58.160] |
Chilled this room for twenty-four days, |
[01:00.040] |
Evergreens, sparkling snow |
[01:02.070] |
Get this winter over with! |
[01:03.480] |
Flashback to springtime, saw him again, |
[01:06.000] |
Would've been good to go for lunch, |
[01:08.060] |
Couldn't agree when we were both free, |
[01:10.010] |
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch. |
[01:12.280] |
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime, |
[01:14.110] |
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? |
[01:16.310] |
No, this time it was me, |
[01:18.290] |
Sunburn in the third degree. |
[01:20.100] |
Now the calendar's just one page |
[01:22.030] |
And, of course, I am excited |
[01:23.180] |
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind |
[01:26.020] |
Not to do too much about it. |
[01:28.170] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[01:29.940] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year. |
[01:31.590] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[01:33.720] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year. |
[01:35.940] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[01:37.710] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year. |
[01:39.890] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[01:41.850] |
But I think I'll miss this one this year. |
[01:44.260] |
Hardly dashing through the snow |
[01:46.060] |
Cause I bundled up too tight |
[01:48.060] |
Last minute have-to-do's |
[01:49.970] |
A few cards a few calls |
[01:51.560] |
'Cause it's r-s-v-p |
[01:54.050] |
No thanks, no party lights |
[01:56.000] |
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax |
[01:57.840] |
Turned down all of my invites. |
[02:00.040] |
Last fall I had a night to myself, |
[02:02.170] |
Same guy called, halloween party, |
[02:04.220] |
Waited all night for him to show, |
[02:06.100] |
This time his car wouldn't go, |
[02:08.050] |
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late, |
[02:10.040] |
Trudge on home to celebrate |
[02:12.060] |
In a quiet way, unwind |
[02:14.110] |
Doing Christmas right this time. |
[02:24.330] |
A&P has provided me |
[02:26.180] |
With the world's smallest turkey |
[02:27.910] |
Already in the oven, nice and hot |
[02:30.040] |
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot? |
[02:32.090] |
So on with the boots, back out in the snow |
[02:34.010] |
To the only all-night grocery, |
[02:35.910] |
When what to my wondering eyes should appear |
[02:38.110] |
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year! |
[02:40.150] |
"I'm spending this one alone," he said. |
[02:41.900] |
"Need a break; this year's been crazy." |
[02:43.770] |
I said, "Me too, but why are you? |
[02:45.770] |
You mean you forgot cranberries too?" |
[02:47.980] |
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed |
[02:50.000] |
Caught on to what was happening |
[02:51.790] |
That Christmas magic's brought this tale |
[02:53.790] |
To a very happy ending! " |
[03:08.090] |
|
[03:39.530] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[03:41.580] |
Couldn't miss this one this year! |
[03:43.230] |
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! |
[03:45.370] |
Couldn't miss this one this year! |
[04:19.250] |
