"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left
From last year, ski shop, encounter, most interesting
Had his number, but never the time
(Most of '81 passed along those lines)
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chill this room for 24 days
Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
Flashback to springtime, saw him again (hi)
Would have been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't, of course, until summertime
Out to the beach, Jim Smoak could've joined him
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
And of course I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it
(Christmas is off)
Oh no, you don't
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos, a few cards, a few calls
Because it's R-S-V-P, no, thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites
