Another year over, a new one just begun. And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun The near and the dear ones, the old and the young. A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears. And so this is Christmas, (War is over) For weak and for strong. (If you want it) The rich and the poor ones (War is over) The road is so long. (Now) And so happy Christmas, (War is over) For black and for white. (If you want it) For yellow and red ones, (War is over) Let’s stop all the fights. (Now) A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears. And so this is Christmas, (War is over) And what have we done? (If you want it) Another year over, (War is over) A new one just begun. (Now) And so this is Christmas, (War is over) We hope you have fun (If you want it ) The near and the dear ones, ( War is over ) The old and the young. (Now) A merry, merry Christmas, and a happy New Year Let’s hope it’s a good one without any fears. War is over, if you want it. War is over, now... War is over, if you want it. War is over, now... 7 | P a g e Version 1 Christmas Wrapping The Waitresses "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong 'Cause it is my favourite 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, En counter, 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. [Instrumental Section] 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, 8 | P a g e Version 1 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. [Instrumental Section] 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. [Instrumental Section] 9 | P a g e Version 1 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! " [Instrumental Section] 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. 10 | P a g e Version 1 Santa Claus is Coming to Town Gillespie & Coots You better watch out, you better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why.
