Bah!Humbug! NoThat's too strong
Cause it's my favourite holiday
But all this year's been busy blurDon't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush Just because it is the season
The perfect gift for me would be completion and connections
Left from last year world tour aeroplanes and babies
Had his number but never the time
So deck those halls trim those trees
Raise up cups of christmas cheer Ijust need to catch my breath
Christmas with my mates this year
Calendar picture frozen landscape chilled this room for 24 days
Evergreens sparkling snow get this winter over with!
Flashback to spring time saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We triedwe said we'd keep in touch
Didn't of course 'Til the summertime 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
And of courseI am excited
Tonight"s the night but I've set my mind Not to do too much about it
Hardly dashing through the snow Cos 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 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 card wouldn't go
Forget itit's cold it's getting late Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet wayunwind doing christmas right this time
Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey
All 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 garage
When what to my wandering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
Spending this one alone he said Need a break this years been crazy
I said me to but why are you? You mean you forgot the papers too?
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending
