Lyrics
Bah-hum-buh, but 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 is the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year
Ski shopping counter, most interesting
Had his number, but never the time
Most of '81 past along those lines
So deck those halls and 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
Chill this room for 24 days
Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
Flash back to spring time, sun again (why?)
Would have 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 'till summer time
Out to the beach to his boat, could have joined him
No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendars just one page
Of course, I am excited, tonight's the night
But I've set my mind not to do too much about it
Christmas is over
Oh, no you don't
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
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...
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-do's
A few cards, a few calls 'cause 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 (I'm sorry)
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time
Cool
A and P has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
All ready 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, honey
Merry Christmas, baby
Here it comes!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
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 (yeah, I can ski)
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas (really?)
Couldn't miss this one this year (well, I don't look like a ski)
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year (well, I can ski)
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas (so ski) (oh ski)
Couldn't miss this one this year (just fine)
Cool
Ho ho ho
