Lyrics[]
"Bah humbug" no that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy
Deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year
La la la la la la la la la
Oohhh
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think I'll miss this one this year
Ay!
Dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have to do
A few cards a few calls
Because it's "RSVP"
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
Doing Christmas right this time
La la la la la la la la la
Oohhh
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas (Ay)
Couldn't miss this one this year (No)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas (Ay)
Couldn't miss this one this year (Ohh)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas (Hey)
Couldn't miss this one this year (Merry Christmas)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
