lyrics

It’s that time of the year again
Racist uncles, fruit inside bread
Spend all your money, wish for the best
Hope you look good in both green in red

The calendars thin and the suns gone away
They spend the whole month celebrating one day
Shopping spree for nothing you get to keep...
And when you’re at the mall, please tell Santa for me....

I don’t want anything for Christmas
Sorry I forgot your husbands name
It’s a good thing that you brought that top shelf wine
So I could raise my glass, to take the blame

I don't want anything for Christmas
Unless you wanna pay my dental bill
I can’t eat a single Snowflake cookie
Until you promise me that you will

I dont wanna anything for Christmas
I really should've said this all along
Just repair brakes on my sisters car
Tell the bank to stop calling my mom

If you could take all of the magic stored away, for today
Imagine all the things that we could do
Sprinkle some on any random April day
For one full night of sleep, and some free food

I dont need anything for Christmas
Though, Universal healthcare would be nice
I just want my friends to see a doctor
When they wipe out on a sheet of ice

Oh I don’t want anything for Christmas
No I still don’t have a boyfriend yet
I’d just like a job opening in my field
That pays me enough to cover rent

I don’t want anything for Christmas
Id really just like to be gettin by
I can see my breath inside my bedroom
And yet my bills still lookin pretty high

The world doesn’t stop turning cause your tree is up
There’s still not enough hours in the day
My pay checks don’t get bigger, but my patience does get thinner
No you wont see me riding on any sleigh

But I don’t want anything for Christmas
Aint a single thing on my wish list
Please don’t get me anything for Christmas...
And to the end of this season, I say ‘Tis!
