Let's Skip Christmas This Year
Let's skip Christmas this year
Darling, what do you say?
Can't we just let it slide
Like it was any old day?
What with the money we save
We can just disappear
Before we both die of cheer
Let's skip Christmas this year
We'll stay out of the mall
All the glum and the haste
Just not deck the hall
Or stuff food in our face
We'll tell our family and friends
That we still love them a ton
But we've just taken ill
And we won't be much fun
Oh no, don't send us a thing
We're contagious, we fear
Can't you imagine their sneer
If we skip Christmas this year
Now we may share DNA
But we're not the same kind
Let 'em bicker and fuss
Let 'em drink themselves blind
Let's skip Christmas this year
Can't we sit this one out?
Just pretend we don't know
What all the fuss is about?
Dinner plates will be thrown
Your drunk uncle will leer
We don't belong in that sphere
Let's skip Christmas this year
I've had it up to my ears
Let's skip Christmas this year
Darling, what do you say?
Can't we just let it slide
Like it was any old day?
What with the money we save
We can just disappear
Before we both die of cheer
Let's skip Christmas this year
We'll stay out of the mall
All the glum and the haste
Just not deck the hall
Or stuff food in our face
We'll tell our family and friends
That we still love them a ton
But we've just taken ill
And we won't be much fun
Oh no, don't send us a thing
We're contagious, we fear
Can't you imagine their sneer
If we skip Christmas this year
Now we may share DNA
But we're not the same kind
Let 'em bicker and fuss
Let 'em drink themselves blind
Let's skip Christmas this year
Can't we sit this one out?
Just pretend we don't know
What all the fuss is about?
Dinner plates will be thrown
Your drunk uncle will leer
We don't belong in that sphere
Let's skip Christmas this year
I've had it up to my ears
Let's skip Christmas this year
