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 '81 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, 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.
  
   Hardly dashing through the snow
   Cause I bundled up too tight
   Last minute have-to-do's
   A few cards a few calls
   'Cause it's r-s-v-p
   No thanks, no party lights
   It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
   Turned down all of my invites.
  
   Last fall I had a night to myself,
   Same guy called, halloween party,
   Waited all night for him to show,
   This time his car wouldn't go,
  
   Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
   Trudge on home to celebrate
   In a quiet way, unwind
   Doing Christmas right this time.
  
   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!
