Christmas Wrapping
Bah humbug!
No, that's too strong 'cause it is my favourite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
I don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections
Left from last year's ski shop encounter, most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines!
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for 24 days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to spring time, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't of course, 'til the summer time
Out to the beach, to his boat, could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
And of course I am excited
Tonight's the night
But I've set my mind not to do too much about it
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute had-to-do's
A few cards, a few walls
Because it's R.S.V.P
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites
Last fall, I had a night to myself
Same guy called, Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
A&P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn, guess what I forgot?
So, on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
In the line, is that guy I've been chasing all year!
Spending this one alone he said
Need a break, this years been crazy
I said me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot cranberries too?
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught onto what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
