The snowflakes always seem as nice as they used to The wind's more bitter if we've been bought and sold The plastic don't smell as nice as the spruce do The stockings are on our feet instead of on the wall We could email Santa with 100 wishes on each and every page He could hire me on as an elf, I'll work for just above minimum wage I can't complain, there's a bird in the oven that my brother shot We got cards in the mail full of people wishing happy thoughts Doorbells ringing, carolers singing 'about Jesus being born Then he's roaming 'round Palestine trying to find Some peace for folks to hold I love it when the moneychangers' jig is up And the tables all have turned So I sing Hallelujah and pray we don't all burn You can wrap my gifts in old newspaper Give me an IOU, say you'll buy 'em later The money doesn't matter on Christmas Day It's enough for me just to see your face So light a couple candles and cuddle up Pour a little eggnog and rum in that cup It's me and you, two in the light of the moon
