Lyrics

[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]
