lyrics
Twas a week before Christmas, or two, maybe three, man
I tell you at Christmas that time has no meaning
An early Thanksgiving gives us an extention
as sugarplum visions all dance for attention
the mention of Christmas, retention of wishlists
suspension your island of calm is an isthmus
forgivenessness flourishes - yeah that's a positive
even if holidays aren't your prerogative
Some shut their eyes and just wait til it's over
but they have the kindness to drive us home sober
the warmth in their heart should be truly adored
so give them gas money and Charcuterie boards
the feeling's absorbed, it pleases the lord
I heard he's in David's new Honda Accord
Home for the holidays, truly we're blessed
it's time for some special celebrity guests!
Trying to gleam some serene in the solstice
when it seems to cold and it screams halitosis
it deems the prognosis is holiday stress
the pressure for pleasing all those we love best
the quest for perfection is riddled with danger
remember the first one took place in a manger
and here we are now some 2,000 years later
with snowfall and bowls of Chex Mix to cater
Decatur to Davenport, Denmark to Dover
there's glossy on cards and a lot to gloss over
it's tempting to rush and do it all at once
but traditions you miss are still good in 12 months
Alone at Home or Lost in New York
or stoking a fire and popping a cork
consort with the spirits that give you a reason
and go make the most of your holiday season
(Celebrity Christmas Cameo #3)
