I wish I had enough Christmas cheer . . . for you too

Oh, on December 26th it starts anew

364 days of hoarding enough joy for a few

This yuletide joy I’d eat by the can

It’s not to be shared with my fellow man

Others are eager to lend a helping hand

But that always leads to and?

I wish I had enough Christmas cheer . . . for you too

 

Oh, for 12 days of December

I don’t want to hear a member

Of the human race

plead their sad case

I’d rather eat a fruit cake by the ton

Than lose a second of fun

Stockings don’t come in pairs

So who really cares

Who has got less?

Extra wrapping paper would just make a mess

Indifference is the only solution

It’s always my New Year’s resolution

I wish I had enough Christmas cheer . . . for you too

 

You think I’m one selfish lad?

Just listen to my Dad:

If you’re in lots of trouble

Don’t you go bursting my boy’s bubble

He can’t pay your rent

So just live in a tent

You love a girl?

You’ll just make him hurl

Need gifts?

My boy’ll throw fits

I never slap him on the wrist

Instead I get him everything on his list

 

Oh, I never think twice

About whether I’m naughty or nice

The presents are always under the tree

And you bet they’re all for me

I wish everyone could understand

Why I like to be alone in my winter wonderland

That’s really all I’ve got to say

About keeping charity at bay

But before I go

Just remember not to kiss me under the mistletoe

I wish I had enough Christmas cheer . . . for you too
