Christmas Wrapping

Bah humbug, but 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 busy season

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections

Left from last year's ski shopping

Counter, 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 pictures, frozen landscape

Chill this room for 24 days

Evergreens, sparkling snow

Get this winter over with

Flashback to springtime's on again

Woulda been good to go for lunch

Couldn't agree, we're both free

We tried, we said, we'd keep in touch

Didn't of course till summertime

Out to the beach to his boat, could I join him?

No, this time it was me

Sunburn in the third degree

Now the counter's just one page

Of course I am excited

Tonight's the night I set my mind

Not to do too much about it

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

A & P has its pride in me

With the world's smallest turkey

Already in the oven, nice and hot

Oh damn, guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots, back down in the snow

To the only all night grocery

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the line, there's that guy I've been chasing all year

I'm spending this one alone, he said

Need a break, this year's been crazy

I said, me too, but why are you?

You mean you forgot cranberries too?

Then suddenly we laughed, and laughed

Caught on to what was happening

That Christmas magic's brought this tale

To a very happy ending

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas

Couldn't miss this one this year
