Take down the box, if you can find it Take down the tinsel from the shelf This is the worst part of November So I better brace myself Three hundred pounds of decorations Await my six-foot christmas tree This is no way to spend vacation Subjected to this misery Santa, if you're out there, won't you listen to my call Cause Christmastime's the time of year that I hate most of all Santa, won't you help me out, all I've ever dreamed about's An elf to call my own, to boss around He could do all my Christmas bidding Wrap the presents for the tree Even cook dinner for Thanksgiving Oh my god, I'll be so free Santa, don't you hear me crying After yelling at my kids This holiday's about the buying Don't let me end up in the skids Santa, if you're out there, won't you listen to my call Cause Christmastime's the time of year that I hate most of all Santa, won't you help me out, all I've ever dreamed about's An elf to boss around this holiday If his name is Twinkletoes or if his name is Kirk Send a little helper and we'll put that guy to work He'll untangle Christmas lights while we'll be singing "Silent Night" An elf to call my own, to boss around An elf to call my own, to boss around An elf to boss around this holiday

The candles burn bright (Baby, it's Hanukkah) It's just the first night (Baby, it's Hanukkah) You wonder what I have got in store (It's just one gift, there's seven more) Baby, don't get excited (So happy I was invited) You think there will be plenty to come? (Pour us a hot toddy with rum) Don't you get too delighted (Candles have been ignited) After this the presents are done (What???) The dreidel will spin (Back to that present thing...) Some gelt I will win (I mean, if it was a ring...) So happy that you are here with me (I guess I'll have to wait and see) Cause even though you're not Jewish, my mother says your cooking is fine (What do you mean by "fine"??) The candles burn bright (You already said that) Baby, it's Hanukkah! It's just the first night (Baby, it's Hanukkah) Let's not have a fight (Cause baby, it's Hanukkah) So happy that I am here with you (I'm sorry if you've misconstrued) The holiday's making sense now (Glad you're not quite as tense now) It's really about family and wine (Manischewitz straight from the vine) The candles burn bright (We've already said that) Baby it's Hanukkah!

In the city, things are pretty There are lights everywhere In the air there's a feeling of Christmas But for some folks with a tin pole There's no decorations And from outside the house you may hear... [SHOUTING] You will dictate all the problems That you've had with your son You can call it an "airing of grievances" Then the two of you will wrestle Until one of you cries And above all this bustle you'll hear [MORE SHOUTING] Festivus, Festivus, Tinsel is much too distracting Ring-a-ling, hear it ring Soon it will be Festivus [Well, it sucks!]

I like Christmas, don't you know I like carols in the show I like warming by the fire's glow Building snowmen with my friends Decorating cookie men Wishing that this never had to end Cause each December is the highlight of my year Spending all my time with people I hold dear Cause I like Christmas I like hanging Christmas lights Getting into snowball fights Drinking cocoa, eating pecan pies Picking out my Christmas tree Wonder which is best for me Bring it home and make it look so pretty Cause each December is the highlight of my year Sing along with me and spread some Christmas cheer Cause I like Christmas Cause each December is the highlight of my year Sing along with me and spread some Christmas cheer Cause I like Christmas
