It's getting colder outside
The time has come
The jack-o-lanterns have barely started decomposing
November has only just begun
But soon the sleigh bells will be ringing
And choirs will be singing
So much for autumnal fun
They say there's a war on Christmas
But it looks like Christmas won
Why must we break out the tree
On November one?
Even Mr. Cratchet would complain about how early
Christmas always seems to come
But for the love of all that's jolly
Can we hold it with the holly
And at least wait until Thanksgiving's done
They say there's a war on Christmas
But it looks like Christmas won
Snowmen and eggnog
And reindeer and Santa Claus
Candy canes as far as you can see
Because the Christmas Industrial Complex
Just won't let us be
Stockings and gingerbread
Sugar plums in our heads
Everywhere you look is red and green
Because the Christmas Industrial Complex
Just won't let us be
So as it gets colder outside
It doesn't mean that fall is done
Though Target may start displaying garland and trees
It's important not to jump the gun
But with all the advertising
Consumer merchandising
They beat us into submission
They say there's a war on Christmas
But no one declared war on Christmas
But if there was a war on Christmas
Christmas surely won
