Lyrics: Christmas Wrapping

Bah Hum.. but that's too strong!
cause it is my favorite holiday
but all this years been a busy blur
don't think i have the energy
to add to my already mad rush
just cause 'tis the season
the perfect gift for me would be
completions and connections left
from last year, ski shopping, counter most interesting.
Had his number but never the time
most of '81 was along those lines.

so deck those halls and trim those trees
raise 'em cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year

Calendar picture
Frozen landscape
chill this room for twenty-four days
evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with
flash back
to spring time, sun again
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,
we didn't of course till the summer time,
out to the beach to his boat could have joined him
no this time, it was me, sunburn in the third degree
now the calendars just one page
and of course I am excited
tonights the night but I've 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

(King?) has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
all ready in the oven, nice and hot
oh damn, guess what I forgot
so on with the boots back out in the snow
to get all my grocery but when to my wondering eyes should appear
in the line that guy I've been chasing all year
spending this one alone he said
give me a break this years 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 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
