lyrics

(to the melody of the piano)

Christmas, just leave me alone
I’m frozen right down to the bone
Please, just this year, no more holiday cheer
No more streets covered in snow

Christmas, just please let me be
Forget all your presents and trees
I think you should know, I don’t like mistletoe
Or your cinnamon peppermint teas

Christmas, just leave me alone
And stop ruining all of my shows
It’s not reassuring while I am enduring
My own holiday episode

Christmas, just please let me live
This wind goes through me like a sieve
I don’t need a reason, this holiday season
I’m taking myself off the grid

Christmas, just please let me die
No, I’m not starting to cry
It seems that some glitter or small piece of litter
Has got itself caught in my eye

Christmas, okay, I give in
Christmas, I give up, you win
I drank from your cup and now I’m warming up
Though I guess that might just be the gin

Christmas, I think I’ll be fine
Christmas, I’m doing alright
Christmas, you’re here just in time
Christmas, you’re with me tonight
Christmas, I think I’ll be fine
Christmas, I’m doing alright
