Suddenly It's Christmas Lyrics - Artist : Loudon Wainwright III
Suddenly it's Christmas
Right after Halloween Forget about Thanksgiving It's just a buffet in between There's lights and tinsel in the windows They're stocking up the shelves Santa's slaving at the North Pole In his sweatshop full of elves There's got to be a build-up To the day that Christ was born The halls are decked with pumpkins And the ears of Indian corn Dragging through the falling leaves In a one-horse open sleigh Suddenly it's Christmas Seven weeks before the day Suddenly it's Christmas The longest holiday When they say "Season's Greetings" They mean just what they say It's a season, it's a marathon Retail eternity It's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree Outside it's positively balmy In the air nary a nip Suddenly it's Christmas Unbuttoned and unzipped Yes, they're working overtime Santa's little runts Christmas comes but once a year And goes on for two months Christmas carols in December And November, too It's no wonder we're depressed When the whole thing is through Finally it's January Let's sing "Auld Lang Syne" But here comes another heartache Shaped like a Valentine Suddenly it's Christmas The longest holiday The season is upon us A pox, it won't go away It's a season, it's a marathon Retail eternity It's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree No, it's not over till it's over And you throw away the tree It's still not over till it's over And you throw away the tree |
