Suddenly it's Christmas Right after Hallowe'en Forget about Thanksgiving It's just a buffet in between. There's lights and tinsel in the window 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 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 And it's not over til it's over And you throw away the tree. Outside it's positively balmy/barmy 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 party 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. And it's not over til it's over And you throw away the tree. No it's not over til it's over And you throw away the tree. It's still not over til it's over And you throw away the tree.
