It's Only Christmas
You send out a thousand Christmas cards and only got two
One you got because you accidentally address it to you
You wrap a hundred Christmas presents you personally bought
for family, friends and coworkers each with a special thought
On Christmas day you unwrap your Christmas gifts
a few expired gift cards and a used handkerchief
Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho, what are you gonna do
It's only Christmas once a year and your becoming a full time Scrooge
Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho, the Grinch you now sympathize
Spreading that Christmas joy feels like your own demise.
Put up Christmas lights on your home
the attention to detail delights is brightly shown
Neighbors call the fire department and the police too
you get a fine and then the electric bill blues
You go to a holiday dinner with a succulent spiral ham
pot luck Christmas food is what the menu planned
When you get there on the buffet
is a string of popcorn and an old moldy fruit cake
Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho, what are you gonna do
It's only Christmas once a year and your becoming a full time Scrooge
Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho, the Grinch you now sympathize
Spreading that Christmas joy feels like your own demise.
So come what will and come what may is still the years biggest holiday
Keep your chin up and bow your head to pray, not an ounce of dismay
Peace on earth and goodwill to men on this Christmas day
It's only Christmas once a year but in your heart it's Christmas everyday.
Ho Ho Ho, Ho Ho Ho, laugh it off and spread that Christmas Cheer
for it's only Christmas once a year....
