should have been out buying presents instead of buying rounds at the bar could have been out singing carols but I shouldn’t be driving a car would have hung up my stocking with care but now I can’t reach up that far can’t be bothered with holly or trees can’t be jolly when you’re down on your knees cause it’s another hungover Christmas eve woke up this morning on the bathroom floor with a pile of presents need to be wrapped should be at the mall in an hour or so but in my house I’m willingly trapped later tonight I need to be full of cheer at this moment though I’m feeling like crap can’t be bothered with holly or trees can’t be jolly when you’re down on your knees cause it’s another hungover Christmas eve I want to climb up to the top of the hill and sled through the shimmering snow to sit by the fire with cocoa in hand in a warm sweater soaked in the glow but last night I got stuck at my favorite bar kept saying yes instead of no can’t be bothered with holly or trees can’t be jolly when you’re down on your knees cause it’s another hungover Christmas eve

should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind should old acquaintance be forgot and auld lang syne for auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne and surely you’ll buy your pint cup and surely I’ll buy mine and we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne for auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne we two have run about the slopes and picked the daisies fine we’ve wandered many a weary foot since auld lang syne for auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne we two have paddled in the stream from morning sun till dine but seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne for auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne and here’s a hand my trusted friend and give a hand of thine and we’ll take a right good-will draught for auld lang syne for auld lang syne my dear for auld lang syne we’ll take a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne

I aint seen you since April and that’s way too long I just tried to call you some guy said you’d gone so I pace through the front room wish I’d put up a tree and wish that somebody would be here to say let’s join hands together and look up at the star no matter where you are know you’ve come so far we all can get lonely at this time of year tell someone merry Christmas I’m glad you’re still here I dodge calls from family cause there’s nothing to say I can feel disappointment despite their merry ways and I need an angel not hung on a tree but if I can’t deal without her is she what I really need let’s join hands together and look up at the star no matter where you are know you’ve come so far we all can get lonely at this time of year tell someone merry Christmas I’m glad you’re still here it’s hard not to miss someone with memories all over town but there’s always somebody that’s glad you’re around let’s join hands together and look up at the star no matter where you are know you’ve come so far we all can get lonely at this time of year tell someone merry Christmas I’m glad you’re still here

jolly old saint Nicholas lean your ear this way don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say Christmas eve is coming soon now you dear old man whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can when the clock is striking twelve when I’m fast asleep down the chimney broad and black with your bag you’ll creep all the stockings you will find hanging in a row mine will be the shortest one you’ll be sure to know Johnny wants a pair of skates Susy wants a dolly Nellie wants a story book she thinks dolls are folly as for me my little brain isn’t very bright choose for me dear Santa Claus what you think is right jolly old saint Nicholas lean your ear this way don’t you tell a single soul what I’m going to say Christmas eve is coming soon now you dear old man whisper what you’ll bring to me tell me if you can

out in the driveway clop clop clop what I hear makes my heart stop too few hooves to be a Claus who else could it be because someone else is out tonight his pointy horns fill me with fright if being good is what you lack he’ll come and shove you in his sack the door opens I’m filled with fear this is Krampus’ time of year down I hide under my bed his spooky voice fills me with dread all that saved you from my stick was the begging of my friend saint Nick here’s your warning don’t misbehave or next year I’ll send you to the grave his jingling chains faded away and I live to see another day next year I’ll be good just wait I’d better start before it’s too late

o come o come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the son of God appear rejoice rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee o Israel o come thou wisdom from on high who ordered all things mightily to us the path of knowledge show and teach us in her ways to go rejoice rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee o Israel o come o come though lord of might who to thy tribes on Sinai’s height in ancient times did give the law in cloud and majesty and awe rejoice rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee o Israel o come thou day spring from on high and cheer us by thy drawing nigh disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death’s dark shadow put to flight rejoice rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee o Israel o come desire of nations bind in one the hearts of all mankind bid thou our sad divisions cease and by thyself our king of peace rejoice rejoice Emmanuel shall come to thee o Israel
