Song Lyrics

"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 eighty one 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
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've 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, 'til 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 calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, 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

A&P has provided 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 out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is 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!
