Bah Humbug; now that’s too strong!
‘Cos it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year’s been a busy blur
Don’t think I have the energy
‘Cos it is my favorite holiday.
But all this year’s been a busy blur
Don’t think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just ‘cos it ’tis the season.
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections

Left from last year.
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

Chill this room for twenty-four days.
Evergreens, sparkling snow.

Flash back to spring time saw him again

Couldn’t agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we’d keep in touch

Didn’t of course ’till 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
of course I am excited
Tonight’s the night I’ve set my mind
Not to do too much about it.

Hardly dashing through the snow
‘cos I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls

Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls
‘cos it’s RSVP
No, thanks. No party lights
It’s Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turn down all of my invites
No, thanks. No party lights
It’s Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turn down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party
Same guy called; Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn’t go
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
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
And he has provided me
With the world’s smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot
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
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
‘Give me a break, this year’s been crazy.’
I said ‘Me too, but why are you
You mean you forgot the cranberries too?’
‘Give me a break, this year’s been crazy.’
I said ‘Me too, but why are you
You mean you forgot the cranberries too?’
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic’s brought this tale
To a very happy ending
