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.
