All Those Christmas Cliches
I've spent Christmas in Los Angeles
Christmas east of West LA
Christmas in Kyoto and the Bay
And I always thought it couldn't matter less
But lately, come December
I confess
I want the tree full of toys and tinsel
I want the wreath on the red front door
I want the elves in the yard
Each sentimental card drippin' glitter on the floor
I want a roof full of plywood reindeer
I want a road full of horse-drawn sleighs
All those Christmas clichés
I want the goose with all the gravy
The goose that dad only ever made
I want the gulp and the tear the moment that I hear
Andy Williams bein' played
I want a lake full of perfect skaters
I want a fruitcake with sugar glaze
All those Christmas clichés
Not to mention the snow
Not to mention the choirs (fa-la-la-la)
Not to mention the candles in the window (window)
And chestnuts roasting on the fire (ba-da-ba)
Inside a house full of noise and laughter
All on a street bathed in twinklin' light
I want the bells and the drums
Mistletoe and sugarplums
And the kids to tuck in tight
As for the songs you hear over and over
I hope you look this one up when it plays
All those Christmas clichés
Give 'em to me!
Just in time for the holidays
Hit me with those out of the ballpark
Happy and hallmark
Christmas clichés!
