Lyrics

It was the day after Christmas
And all I could think about were the ginger peachy presents I received
"Ginger peachy", that’s a laugh! Ha, ha, ha
The shirts were swell, the socks were fine
They're all size ten, but my feet are size nine
I've had a very merry Christmas
The watch won't run, the wallet's split
The gloves are small, the pajamas don't fit
I've had a very merry Christmas
Ten dozen hankies
A gift of Aunty Rose's
Ten dozen hankies
She must think I'm covered with noses!
Six neckties, they're all handmade
They're lovely ties, but they're all the same shade
Oh, I've had a very merry Christmas!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Give my heart a lift
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
Exchanging every gift!
Oh, I'm so disappointed
I've never been so disillusioned!
The pen won't write, the slippers gap
The bathrobe's tight, and the camera won't snap
I've had a very merry Christmas
Those darn cigars are much too strong
The sweater's wide, and the shorts are too long
I've had a very merry Christmas
Six pairs of swim trunks
A present that my firm made
Six pairs of swim trunks
They must think I married a mermaid!
Hat's too small, the ring ain't gold
The muffler's thin, and I caught a good cold
A-choo!
I've had a very merry Christmas!
Yeah, fine Christmas I had
But don't get me wrong, I'm not too unhappy
I'm just miserable!
