Song by Jessica Molaskey<br /><br>
WOMAN 2:<br>
I was just seventeen <br>
When you rode into town <br>
Just a girl full of fantasies and longing <br>
I saw you <br>
I knew I had to be with you <br>
<br>
Then you looked in my eyes <br>
And you asked me my name <br>
And I trembled before you like a baby <br>
Then gently I kissed you <br>
Who could resist you?<br>
You took my heart and soul <br>
<br>
And before I had a chance to take control <br>
We retired to your palace on the Pole <br>
Where we only had ourselves <br>
And the reindeer and the elves <br>
And a lot of things we never said <br>
About the life I could have led <br>
If I had had the sense to stay away <br>
<br>
But here we are Nick <br>
And so Nick <br>
I know it's time for you to go Nick <br>
I know by now I'll never claim you for my own <br>
I've been resigned to spend my Christmases alone <br>
And so au revoir Nick <br>
It's grand Nick <br>
I don't pretend to understand Nick <br>
I saw you look at Blitzen long and lovingly <br>
The way you used to look at me <br>
<br>
I have sat twenty years <br>
In this drafty retreat <br>
As the latest in the line of Mrs. Clauses <br>
I've sat here <br>
And wondered what you want from me <br>
But you sit by yourself <br>
On the couch in the den <br>
And you watch "Miracle on 34th Street"<br>
You get sad and dreamy <br>
Can't even see me <br>
Won't even say, "Hello!"<br>
<br>
Now you tell me that it's time for you to go <br>
Ha!<br>
Sling your sack upon your back and "Ho, ho, ho!"<br>
Ha!<br>
And what matters most of all <br>
Is to sit inside some mall <br>
And you never think of me <br>
While I am pining by the tree <br>
But never mind <br>
I will survive <br>
While you are gone <br>
<br>
I set you free, Nick <br>
Goodbye, Nick <br>
Go ride your reindeer through the sky, Nick <br>
I don't suppose you'll ever want me by your side <br>
I know you now <br>
You want a plaything, not a bride <br>
So on your way, Nick <br>
Shalom, Nick <br>
Don't feel the need to hurry home, Nick <br>
Should I want comfort in the cold and bitter storm <br>
I've got the elves to keep me warm <br>
<br>
Oh, oh, Nick, I didn't mean it. I'm just going crazy all cooped up in here! Oh, Nick, I mean, come on, I'm not even German.<br>
Please take me with you. Please! I'm your wife damn it. Isn't there one once of human decency buried beneath all those layers<br>
of fat? You disgust me! Oh yes, It's so easy to judge, isn't it? Deciding who's naughty and who's nice? Well, who died and<br>
left you God, Mr. Claus? Hmph.<br>
<br>
But never mind, Nick <br>
Okay, Nick <br>
I hate to keep you from your sleigh, Nick <br>
When you return I will be many miles away <br>
I'll have my lawyer call your lawyer <br>
New Years Day!<br>
<br>
That's all from me, Nick <br>
Gain way, Nick <br>
I'll miss you less than I can say, Nick <br>
Have fun with all the little boys along the route <br>
I'll get the mansion and the factory to boot <br>
I will not wait until the snow beneath me thaws <br>
I will escape <br>
Your Santa claws!!<br>
<br>
<br>
