Bah! Humbug! 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 pizza season The perfect gift from me would be Completions and connections left from last year Ski, shop, encounter, most interesting Had his number but never the time Most of 09 pass along those lines So stack those halls, trim those trees Raise up cups of Christmas cheer I just need to catch my breath Christmas by myself this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one Calendar, picture, frozen landscape Chilled this room for 24 days Evergreen, sparkling snow Get this one over with! Flashback to springtime Saw him again Would've 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 he was me Subburnt in the 3rd degree I'm coiled 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 I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one Hardly dashing through the snow Cause I bumbled up too tight Last minute, have to do a few cards A few calls because it's R.S.V.P No thanks, no party like It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax Turn down all of my invites Last fall, had a night to myself Same guy called, Halloween party Waited all night for him to show This time he's got way no pride Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late Trudge on home to sleep Trudge on home to celebrate Quiet way on one Doing Christmas right this time Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one A&P has invited me With the World's smallest turkey Already in the oven nice and hot Oh darn, 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 And the line is like I've been chasing all year I'm spending this one alone, he said Ain't afraid this year's been crazy I said me too, but why are you mean? You forgot cranberries too? Then suddenly we laughed and laughed Caught on to what was happening And the Christmas magic's brought this tale To a very happy ending Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one this year Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas I think I'll miss this one
