Merry Christmas... Have A Nice Life

Chorus:
Close your eyes December child
and dream a while my little son and moon
may the stars be your crown
and may the earth guide you round and round

Snuggle up and let me hold kiss your
baby breath in the dark and cold on a
silent night long ago another mother held
her babe and told him

Repeat Chorus

They had come such a long, long way
rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of a
little king and his bed of hay
it is remembered every Christmas day

Little one, little son
all my life I've wished you welcome

Close your eyes December child
and dream a while my little son and moon
may the stars be your crown
and may the earth guide you round and round

I worked with a woman named Minnie
One Christmas eve long ago
When I asked "What you doing this evening?"
Minnie took on a seasonal glow
She said she'd be waiting for Santa
She'd be wearing a bright red bow
(Oh)

Chorus:
Minnie and Santa
Minnie and Santa
What they're up to only heaven knows
She wrote on a card
"Don't take it so hard
We're headed for the North Pole"

Now Minnie could not be persuaded
that Santa just did not exist
She swore if she put up some mistletoe
Santa'd come give her a kiss
And there where she'd hung up her stockings
All in their silky, soft, sheen
She'd be laying in wait on a bear skin rug
Where the cookies and milk could be seen

Repeat Chorus
(musical interlude)

Now Minnie was older and wiser
like a dear old Auntie to me
But the night that she ran off with Santa
Was a real epiphany

Repeat Chorus

Next Xmas I passed by the bakery
Staring out from on top of a cake
Was jolly old Santa with a big silly grin
And a gal in silk stockings and lace
(Oh)

In the bleak midwinter
frosty wind made moan
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone
snow had fallen
snow on snow on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long ago

Angels and arc-angels
may have gathered there
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air
but only his mother
in her maiden bliss
worshipped the beloved
with a kiss

What can I give him
poor as I am
if I were a shepherd
I would give a lamb
if I were a wise man
I would do my part
but what I can I give him
give my heart
give him my heart

It's time to make the Christmas punch
let's hang the streamers from the ceiling
bring out the old cheer
ring in the new year
And get that Christmas feeling

Chorus:
I wish you joy that never ends
happy times with all your friends
come on and hold my hips a little longer
as we do the Christmas Conga,
do the Christmas Conga

The old white tree still looks good
And Grandma's angels got me thinking
string up the new lights,
brighten the cold nights
And get those baubles blinking

Repeat Chorus

And then we'll put on party hats
As the year comes to a conclusion
turn on the yule log
spike up the egg nog
and break those resolutions

Sitting in some hotel room
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming Christmas
Bought your present there today

Pre-Chorus:
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be

The drunken Santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you

Chorus:
I'll be home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
And every Christmas tree
Reminds me where I'd rather be
Home on Christmas day
I am just a thought away
But anywhere I'll be
You will always be Christmas to me

Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so damn jolly
I wish you were here

Repeat Chorus
