Christmas Wrapping - The Waitresses.mp3

[00:48.262]"Bah, humbug" no, that's too strong
[00:50.118]'Cause it is my favourite holiday
[00:52.186]But all this year's been a busy blur
[00:54.312]Don't think I have the energy
[00:56.439]To add to my already mad rush
[00:58.295]Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
[01:00.422]The perfect gift for me would be
[01:02.550]Completions and connections left from
[01:04.670]Last year, ski shoppin'
[01:06.798]Encounter, most interesting
[01:08.921]Had his number but never the time
[01:10.782]Most of '81 passed along those lines
[01:12.911]So deck those halls, trim those trees
[01:15.031]Raise up cup's of Christmas cheer
[01:17.159]I just need to catch my breath
[01:19.279]Christmas by myself this year
[01:29.376]Calendar picture, frozen landscape
[01:31.232]Chilled this room for twenty-four days
[01:33.358]Evergreens, sparkling snow
[01:35.482]Get this winter over with
[01:36.814]Flashback to springtime, saw him again
[01:39.737]Would've been good to go for lunch
[01:41.862]Couldn't agree when we were both free
[01:43.717]We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
[01:45.846]Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
[01:47.702]Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
[01:50.095]No, this time it was me
[01:51.950]Sunburn in the third degree
[01:54.079]Now the calendar's just one page
[01:56.200]And, of course, I am excited
[01:58.326]Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
[02:00.454]Not to do too much about it
[02:30.134]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:31.989]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:33.853]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:35.973]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:37.837]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:39.957]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:42.086]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[02:43.943]But I think, I'll miss this one this year
[02:46.600]Hardly dashing through the snow
[02:47.927]'Cause I bundled up too tight
[02:50.053]Last minute have to do
[02:52.184]A few cards a few calls
[02:54.037]'Cause it's "RSVP"
[02:56.432]No thanks, no party lights
[02:58.551]It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
[03:00.416]Turned down all of my invites
[03:02.534]Last fall I had a night to myself
[03:04.662]Same guy called, Halloween party
[03:06.790]Waited all night for him to show
[03:08.912]This time his car wouldn't go
[03:10.774]Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
[03:12.895]Trudge on home to celebrate
[03:15.022]In a quiet way, unwind
[03:17.150]Doing Christmas right this time
[03:27.237]"AP" has provided me
[03:29.100]With the world's smallest turkey
[03:30.957]Already in the oven, nice and hot
[03:33.087]Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
[03:35.205]So on, with the boots, back out in the snow
[03:37.069]To the only all-night grocery
[03:39.200]When what to my wondering eyes should appear
[03:41.317]In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
[03:43.448]"I'm spending this one alone," he said
[03:45.566]"Need a break, this year's been crazy"
[03:47.431]I said, "Me too, but why are you?
[03:49.815]You mean you forgot cranberries too?"
[03:51.680]Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
[03:53.800]Caught on to what was happening
[03:55.665]That Christmas magic's brought this tale
[03:58.054]To a very happy ending
[04:27.733]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:29.860]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:31.717]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:33.844]Couldn't miss this one this year
[04:35.703]Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
[04:37.829]Couldn't miss this one this year
