[G] [G] [C] [Bb] [A]
[G] "Bah, humbug!" No, that's too strong
'Cause it [G] is my favorite holiday
But [C] all this year's been a busy blur
Don't [Bb] think I have the [A] energy
To [G] add to my already mad rush
Just [G] 'cause it 'tis the season.
The [C] perfect gift for me would be
Com-[Bb]pletions and co-[A]nnections left from
[G] Last year, ski shop,
En-[G] counter, most interesting.
[C] Had his number but never the time
[Bb] Most of '81 passed [A] along those lines.
So [G] deck those halls, trim those trees
[G] Raise up cups of Christmas cheer,
[C] I just need to catch my breath,
[D] Christmas by [G] myself this year.
[G] [G] [G] [G]
[G] [G] [G] [G]
[G] Calendar picture, frozen landscape, [G] Chilled this room for twenty-four days,
[C] Evergreens, sparkling snow, [Bb] get this winter over with! [A]
Flashback to [G] springtime, saw him again,
[G] Would've been good to go for lunch,
[C] Couldn't agree when we were both free.
We [Bb] tried, we said we'd [A] keep in touch.
[G] Didn't, of course, 'til summertime,
[G] Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
[C] No, this time it was me,
[Bb] Sunburn in the [A] third degree.
[G] Now the calendar's just one page
And, of [G] course, I am excited.
To-[C] night's the night, I've set my mind
Not to [D] do too much a-[G]bout it.

Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I [D] think I'll miss this [G] one this year.
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I [D] think I'll miss this [G] one this year.
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I [D] think I'll miss this [G] one this year.
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
But I [D] think I'll miss this [G] one this year.
[G] Hardly dashing through the snow
[G] 'Cause I bundled up too tight.
[C] Last minute, had to do
A few [Bb] cards, a few [A] calls,
Because it's [G] R. S. V. P.
[G] No thanks, no party lights.
It's [C] Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
[Bb] Turned down all of [A] my invites.
[G] Last fall I had a night to myself,
[G] Same guy called, Halloween party,
[C] Waited all night for him to show,
[Bb] This time his car [A] wouldn't go.
For-[G] get it, it's cold, it's getting late,
[G] Trudge on home to celebrate
In a [C] quiet way, unwind
[D] Doing Christmas [G] right this time.
[G] [G] [G] [G]
[G] [G] [G] [G]
[G] A&P has provided me
With the [G] world's smallest turkey
Al-[C]ready in the oven, nice and hot
Oh [Bb] damn! Guess what [A] I forgot?
So [G] on with the boots, back out in the snow
To the [G] only all-night grocery,
When [C] what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the [Bb] line is that guy I've been [A] chasing all year!
"I'm [G] spending this one alone," he said.
"Need a [G] break; this year's been crazy."
I [C] said, "Me too, but why are you?
You mean [Bb] you forgot cran-[A] berries too?"
Then [G] suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught [G] on to what was happening
That [C] Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a [D] very happy [G] ending!

Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[D] Couldn't miss this [G] one this year!
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[D] Couldn't miss this [G] one this year!
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[D] Couldn't miss this [G] one this year!
Merry [G] Christmas! Merry Christmas!
[D] Couldn't miss this [G] one this year!
