Now you know one of my favorite forms of music is the blues
And when you got the blues you sing about sad stuff
So I know you're thinking, "Well Bill, how
Are you gonna mix Christmas and the blues?"
I don't know how I did it, maybe it was too much eggnog
And to all you blues enthusiasts out
There, I apologize for this next song
It's called "That's What's Wrong With Christmas"
Alright boys and girls, it's time for a little Christmas blues
I'm gonna tell you what's wrong with Christmas
Hey Santa, can you tell me what's gone wrong? (What's gone wrong?)
Things haven't been the same for so long
The greetings all sound fake, mistletoe's not real
It's all become one big commercial deal
Yeah, that's what's wrong with Christmas
And I'm gonna tell you what else is wrong with Christmas
The other day I took my son to the mall
Now we were walking down the mall and there was Santa Claus
And he was sitting in his chair and
The children were lined up everywhere
And I turned to my little boy and I said
"Son, do you have any idea where Santa Claus really lives?"
And he looked me right in the eye and he said
"Well yeah, Daddy, Santa Claus lives at the
End of the mall right next to the food court
And that's why he's so fat"
I said, "Son, that's wrong"
Hey Santa, can you tell me what's gone wrong? (What's gone wrong?)
Things haven't been the same for so long
The greetings all sound fake, mistletoe's not real
It's all become one big commercial deal
Yeah, that's what's wrong with Christmas
And I'm gonna tell you something else, brothers and sisters
Nobody puts up lights anymore, says it's too much trouble
You remember those little red, green, and blue twinkly lights?
I love those lights
And a matter of fact, the more money you had
The more lights you could put up on your house
Well, my family didn't have a lot of money
So my daddy would tie lit cigarettes to
A string and wrap them around our house
You know that's wrong, but man, they were pretty
Hey Santa, can you tell me what's gone
Wrong? (Hey Santa, what's gone wrong?)
Things ain't been the same for so long
The greetings all sound fake, mistletoe's not real
It's all become one big commercial deal
Yeah, that's what's wrong with Christmas
But I'm gonna tell you what I think is the true problem with Christmas
It doesn't know when to show up anymore
Do you remember when Christmas used to come at, at, well, Christmas?
I mean, the Easter Bunny will wait for Easter
Witches wait for Halloween
Turkeys wait for Thanksgiving
Even the Tooth Fairy will wait for
Your teeth to fall out of your mouth
But not old Christmas, nuh-uh
Nah, he comes walking in about the end of September
He's suffering from premature holiday, and that's just wrong
Hey Santa, can you tell me what's gone
Wrong? (Santa, tell me what's gone wrong?)
You know, things haven't been the same for so long (Aw yeah)
The greetings all sound fake, mistletoe's not real
It's all become one big commercial deal
Yeah, that's what's wrong with Christmas
Now ladies and gentlemen, I've said there's
A lot of things wrong with Christmas
But every year I make out a Christmas
List and this year is no exception
This year I want a 1972 442 Cutlass Oldsmobile Supreme
Convertible
With the white leather seats and the atomic red paint job, aw yeah
And you can keep Barbie and you can
Keep Ken, I want a John Lee Hooker doll
Guitar included
And I wouldn't mind having a little shot of
Something to go in this eggnog I'm sipping on
And I wouldn't mind having myself eight tiny reindeer that could fly
If I had a shot of something in this eggnog
Well, I wouldn't need those reindeer, would I?
No sir
Hey y'all, have a merry Christmas
Goodnight
Boy, I love that song
You know, I feel like I oughta put on some
Dark sunglasses and start playing harmonica
Okay, reality check, I won't
