<br>
"Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong <br>
'Cause it is my favorite holiday <br>
But all this year's been a busy blur <br>
Don't think I have the energy <br>
<br>
To add to my already mad rush <br>
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season. <br>
The perfect gift for me would be <br>
Completions and connections left from <br>
<br>
Last year, ski shop, <br>
Encounter, most interesting. <br>
Had his number but never the time <br>
Most of '81 passed along those lines. <br>
<br>
So deck those halls, trim those trees <br>
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer, <br>
I just need to catch my breath, <br>
Christmas by myself this year. <br>
<br>
Calendar picture, frozen landscape, <br>
Chilled this room for twenty-four days, <br>
Evergreens, sparkling snow <br>
Get this winter over with! <br>
<br>
Flashback to springtime, saw him again, <br>
Would've been good to go for lunch, <br>
Couldn't agree when we were both free, <br>
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch. <br>
<br>
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime, <br>
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him? <br>
No, this time it was me, <br>
Sunburn in the third degree. <br>
<br>
Now the calendar's just one page <br>
And, of course, I am excited <br>
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind <br>
Not to do too much about it. <br>
<br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
But I think I'll miss this one this year. <br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
But I think I'll miss this one this year.<br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
But I think I'll miss this one this year. <br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
But I think I'll miss this one this year. <br>
<br>
Hardly dashing through the snow<br>
Cause I bundled up too tight<br>
Last minute have-to-do's<br>
A few cards a few calls<br>
'Cause it's r-s-v-p<br>
No thanks, no party lights<br>
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax<br>
Turned down all of my invites.<br>
<br>
Last fall I had a night to myself, <br>
Same guy called, halloween party, <br>
Waited all night for him to show, <br>
This time his car wouldn't go, <br>
<br>
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late, <br>
Trudge on home to celebrate <br>
In a quiet way, unwind <br>
Doing Christmas right this time. <br>
<br>
A&P has provided me <br>
With the world's smallest turkey <br>
Already in the oven, nice and hot <br>
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot? <br>
<br>
So on with the boots, back out in the snow <br>
To the only all-night grocery, <br>
When what to my wondering eyes should appear <br>
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year! <br>
<br>
"I'm spending this one alone," he said. <br>
"Need a break; this year's been crazy." <br>
I said, "Me too, but why are you? <br>
You mean you forgot cranberries too?" <br>
<br>
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed <br>
Caught on to what was happening <br>
That Christmas magic's brought this tale <br>
To a very happy ending! " <br>
<br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
Couldn't miss this one this year! <br>
Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! <br>
Couldn't miss this one this year! <br>
<br>
