lyrics

(it's not december yet, it's not december yet)
(it's not december yet, it's not december yet)
(it's not december yet, it's not december yet)
i'm decorating early, the neighbours aren't impressed
(it's not december yet, it's not december yet)
i'm thinking about reindeer and bing crosby cassettes
(it's not december yet, it's not november yet)
the eggnog on the shelves puts my patience to the test
(it's not october yet, it's not september yet)
but ask me to go caroling and i'll say "heck yes."

i keep my sweater on indoors, it's oversized and red,
with shoulder pads, with lace doily snowflakes attached with fishing line
so when i spin around, it makes a blizzard in my house
flurrying with joy
nestled in a fresh snowbank

i remember when i had to jump the fence
in mustard brown and burnt orange moon boots...excitement building
o, the anticipation of delights to come but then...
but then...
chugging down the hill, with rocks and sticks and
pine cones wreaking havoc 'neath the
garbage bags we'd fashioned into sleds

gingerbread ladies and gents:
they're festive, rapturous robots! take a bite!
twinkling houses, extra cheer:
the delight of the season! the staples of christmas life
result in exuberant hearts
arranging all the bliss objects

sitting in the dark with my christmas tree
it brings my heart so much glee
if it snows then i'll be so relieved

sitting in the dark with my christmas tree
it brings my heart so much glee
if it snows then i'll be so relieved
