You have put on your feety pajamas
|
It's time for a long winter's nap
|
There's a knock on the door and a stranger is there
|
He wants you to sit on his lap
|
He takes your watch and he gives you a hairbrush
|
Your wife gets a wig on a chain
|
He says he can't stay
|
Cause he's got a long way to go
|
And it's starting to rain
|
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a knife in your heart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
How it tears you apart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a stick in your eye
|
It's so freaking interesting
|
That it might make you cry
|
So you're an elf, but you'd rather be a dentist
|
Maybe you're a train with square wheels
|
Maybe you're a squirt gun that only shoots jam
|
Now you know how Jesus feels
|
He is riding a sleigh he calls Rosebud
|
His mansion is lonely and cold
|
He can't remember a pleasant December
|
When he wasn't tired and old
|
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a knife in your heart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
How it tears you apart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a stick in your eye
|
It's so freaking interesting
|
That it might make you cry
|
|
So you're drunk and your name is Jimmy Stewart
|
You once had a wonderful life
|
Then you lost all your money, you cracked up your car
|
You yelled at your favorite wife
|
You go to bed and you wait for Jacob Marley
|
He comes to make you feel brave
|
But under his cloak he is nothing but smoke
|
And a finger that points at your grave
|
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a knife in your heart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
How it tears you apart
|
Christmas is interesting
|
Like a stick in your eye
|
It's so freaking interesting
|
That it might make you cry
|
