[Chorus:]
|
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
|
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
|
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
|
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
|
|
There's bells and there's holly, the kids are gung-ho
|
True loves finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe
|
Some families are messed up while others are fine
|
If you think yours is crazy, well you should see mine
|
|
My sisters are wackjobs, I wish I had none
|
Their husbands are losers and so are their sons
|
My nephew's a horrible wise little twit
|
He once gave me a nice gift wrapped box full of shit
|
|
He likes to pelt carolers with icy snowballs
|
I'd like to take him out back and deck more than the halls
|
With family like this I would have to confess
|
I'd be better off lonely, distraught and depressed
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
|
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
|
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
|
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
|
They call this Christmas where I'm from
|
|
My mom likes to cook push our buttons and prod
|
My brother just brought home another big broad
|
The eyes rollin' whispers come love from the kitchen
|
I'd come home more often if they'd only quit bitchin'
|
|
Dad on the other hand's a selfish old sod
|
Drinks whiskey alone with my miserable dog
|
Who won't run off fetch sure he couldn't care less
|
He defiled my teddy bear and left me the mess
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
The season's upon us, it's that time of year
|
Brandy and eggnog, there's plenty of cheer
|
There's lights on the trees and there's wreaths to be hung
|
There's mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung
|
They call this Christmas where I'm from
|
|
The table's set, we raise a toast
|
The father, son, and the Holy Ghost
|
I'm so glad this day only comes once a year
|
You can keep your opinions, your presents, your happy new year
|
They call this Christmas where I'm from
|
They call this Christmas where I'm from
|
