Christmas Wrapping (with Iggy Pop)

[00:27.86] Bah-hum-buh, but that's too strong
[00:29.76] 'Cause it is my favorite holiday
[00:32.07] But all this year's been a busy blur
[00:34.13] Don't think I have the energy
[00:36.22] To add to my already mad rush
[00:38.41] Just 'cause it is the season
[00:40.64] The perfect gift for me would be
[00:42.77] Completions and connections left from last year
[00:46.02] Ski shopping counter, most interesting
[00:49.33] Had his number, but never the time
[00:51.43] Most of '81 past along those lines
[00:53.42] So deck those halls and trim those trees
[00:55.88] Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
[00:58.03] I just need to catch my breath
[01:00.03] Christmas by myself this year
[01:04.46]
[01:10.53] Calendar picture, frozen landscape
[01:12.69] Chill this room for 24 days
[01:14.86] Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
[01:18.39] Flash back to spring time, sun again (why?)
[01:21.45] Would have been good to go for lunch
[01:23.59] Couldn't agree when we were both free
[01:25.48] We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
[01:27.78] Didn't of course 'till summer time
[01:30.08] Out to the beach to his boat, could have joined him
[01:32.20] No this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
[01:36.33] Now the calendars just one page
[01:38.47] Of course, I am excited, tonight's the night
[01:41.46] But I've set my mind not to do too much about it
[01:47.36] Christmas is over
[01:48.71] Oh, no you don't
[01:54.65] Hey!
[01:58.93] Hey!
[02:03.37] Hey!
[02:07.51] Hey!
[02:08.63]
[02:13.16] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[02:15.59] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:17.73] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[02:19.69] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:21.85] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[02:24.17] But I think I'll miss this one this year
[02:26.32] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[02:28.58] But I think I'll miss this one this...
[02:30.47] Hardly dashing through the snow
[02:32.59] 'Cause I bundled up too tight
[02:34.71] Last minute have-to-do's
[02:36.51] A few cards, a few calls 'cause it's R.S.V.P.
[02:41.13] No thanks, no party lights
[02:43.19] It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
[02:45.66] Turned down all of my invites
[02:47.52] Last fall I had a night to myself
[02:49.84] Same guy called, Halloween party
[02:52.05] Waited all night for him to show
[02:54.10] This time his car wouldn't go (I'm sorry)
[02:56.41] Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
[02:58.55] Trudge on home to celebrate
[03:00.50] In a quiet way, unwind
[03:02.74] Doing Christmas right this time
[03:08.93] Cool
[03:13.17] A and P has provided me
[03:15.02] With the world's smallest turkey
[03:17.24] All ready in the oven, nice and hot
[03:19.43] Oh damn, guess what I forgot?
[03:21.33] So on with the boots back out in the snow
[03:23.81] To the only all night grocery
[03:25.75] When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
[03:28.28] In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
[03:30.20] "I'm spending this one alone", he said
[03:32.48] "Need a break, this year's been crazy"
[03:34.59] I said, "Me too, but why are you?
[03:36.56] You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
[03:38.75] Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:40.10] Caught on to what was happening
[03:43.14] That Christmas magic's brought
[03:44.61] This tale to a very happy ending
[03:50.60] Merry Christmas, honey
[03:52.16] Merry Christmas, baby
[03:54.93] Here it comes!
[03:57.33] Hey!
[04:01.75] Hey!
[04:06.19] Hey!
[04:10.45] Hey!
[04:10.91]
[04:15.99] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:18.55] Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:20.45] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:22.10] Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:24.40] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:27.26] Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:28.94] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:31.61] Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:33.33] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:35.57] Couldn't miss this one this year (yeah, I can ski)
[04:37.76] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas (really?)
[04:40.15] Couldn't miss this one this year (well, I don't look like a ski)
[04:41.90] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
[04:44.46] Couldn't miss this one this year (well, I can ski)
[04:46.31] Merry Christmas, merry Christmas (so ski) (oh ski)
[04:48.89] Couldn't miss this one this year (just fine)
[04:52.07] Cool
[04:53.69] Ho ho ho
[04:56.58]
