Christmas Wrapping

[00:46.50] "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
[00:48.71] 'Cause it is my favorite holiday
[00:51.19] But all this year's been a busy blur
[00:53.21] Don't think I have the energy to add to my already mad rush
[00:56.82] Just 'cause it's "'tis the season"
[00:59.30] The perfect gift for me would be
[01:01.43] Completions and connections left from last year, ski shop
[01:05.55] Encounter, most interesting
[01:07.60] Had his number, but never the time
[01:09.52] Most of '81 passed along those lines
[01:11.62] So deck those halls, trim those trees
[01:13.65] Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
[01:15.73] I just need to catch my breath
[01:17.86] Christmas by myself this year
[01:27.50] Calendar picture, frozen landscape
[01:29.39] Chilled this room for 24 days
[01:31.85] Evergreens, sparkling snow
[01:33.98] Get this winter over with!
[01:35.19] Flashback to springtime, saw him again
[01:37.95] Would've been good to go for lunch
[01:39.94] Couldn't agree when we were both free
[01:42.04] We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
[01:44.14] Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
[01:46.24] Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?
[01:48.38] No, this time it was me
[01:50.34] Sunburn in the third degree
[01:52.41] Now the calendar's just one page
[01:54.57] And, of course, I am excited
[01:56.42] Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
[01:58.12] Not to do too much about it
[02:01.76]
[02:27.95] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[02:29.97] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:32.07] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[02:34.69] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:36.08] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[02:38.12] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:40.13] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[02:42.38] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:44.98] A&P has provided me
[02:46.20] With the world's smallest turkey
[02:48.10] Already in the oven, nice and hot
[02:50.26] Oh, damn! Guess what I forgot?
[02:52.33] So on with the boots, back out in the snow
[02:54.36] To the only all-night grocery
[02:56.42] When what to my wondering eyes should appear
[02:58.45] In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!
[03:00.65] "I'm spending this one alone," he said
[03:02.58] "Need a break; this year's been crazy."
[03:04.97] I said, "Me too, but why are you?
[03:07.06] You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
[03:09.17] Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:11.06] Caught on to what was happening
[03:13.12] That Christmas magic's brought this tale
[03:14.71] To a very happy ending! "
[03:23.89]
[03:44.85] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[03:46.24] Couldn't miss this one this year!
[03:48.88] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[03:50.75] Couldn't miss this one this year!
[03:52.89] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[03:54.92] Couldn't miss this one this year!
[03:57.18] Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[03:59.03] Couldn't miss this one this year!
