Letra da Música Christmas Wrapping de Iggy Pop

Bah Humbug; now 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
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year
Ski shop encounter most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of '81 passed along those lines
So deck those halls. Trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year

Calendar picture. Frozen landscape
Chill this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens. Sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time saw him again
Would have been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch
Didn't of course 'till summer time
Out to the beach to his boat
Could I join him?
No. This time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
Of course I am excited
Tonight's the night I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it

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

Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls
Because it's Rsvp
No, thanks. No party lights
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turn down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way unwind
Doing Christmas right this time

And he has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot
So on with the boots
Back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year
'Spending this one alone, ' he said
'Give me a break, this year's been crazy. '
I said 'Me too, but why are you
You mean you forgot cranberries too? '
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending

Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas; Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
