Christmas Wrapping

The Waitresses

Bah Humbug; now thats 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,

Chill this room for twenty-four days.

Evergreens. Sparkling snow.

Get this winter over with!

Flash back to spring time saw him again

Would have 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 'till summer time,

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

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

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-dos:

A few cards, a few calls

Because it's RSVP.

No, thanks. No party lights.

It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,

Turn 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.
