Well, it's funny this season There's a reason I got no money It's been disastrous, but somehow we'll get through Oh, the holidays, they're complex And we know just where we'll find ourselves Sleeping on the floor at half past two Yeah, you're putting together the string of lights in the living room Oh, the Christmas tree's nearly caught on fire But, we'll be alright Who knows where we'll come down from this glaze for the holidays And everything will be fine Little toys for those girls and boys, don't forget them Oh, Mom and Dad, now with gin and tonic in hand, are more relaxed It's always the same with the holiday highs and lows Come sit by the fire with me I wanna share some of this glow Bring your friends over they can stand in the corner and hold their breath Join in the family's dysfunctionality, shining at its best Let me know if I can lend you a hand, digging you out of the snow We can waltz around the kitchen to ease this seasonal shift All I want for the holidays is to be by your side It's been a heavy year darlin', it'll all be over soon, yeah There it goes around the bend The year that would never end Gonna wave, bye bye
