"Bah, humbug!" no, that's too strong.
'Cause 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 'cause it's '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 eighty one 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 twenty-four days,
Evergreens, sparkling snow.
Get this winter over with!
Flashback to springtime, 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 summertime,
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, I've set my mind.
Not to do too much about it.
[Repeat: x4]
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I think I'll miss this one this year.
A and 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!
"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a break, this year's been crazy."
I said, "me too, but why are you?
You mean you forgot 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!

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas.
Couldn't miss this one this year..
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas.
Couldn't miss this one this year..
