Mistletoe in rows
But I don't give a damn
Unless you feed me wine
And try to have some semblance of a good time.
Try to crack a smile
Even if it hurts
And hang around a while
To watch the snowflakes gather in the dirt.
Well I wouldn't trade away
All the merry mistletoe
In Granny's Christmas Dickens show
Way before the war.
And Santa Claus and Superman
Ran away to Disneyland
In all the aggravation,
Everyone forgot
To pray for all the sweet things
Your money never bought you on a good day.
Well gather up your things
And bustle down the lighted streets
Say "hi" to all the eyes we meet.
Go to midnight mass
And act as if we go there all the time.
Dandelions won't ever grow
Here inside our melancholy
Haaa-holiday show.
