Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

It''s just five days till Christmas, I haven''t done a thing
Don''t even have a Christmas tree, I am panicking
Most lots are all sold out, I search until the night
I end up with a grubby shrub with a case of blight

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

It''s four days till Christmas, still have to decorate
Spend hours in the basement until I find the crate
Of lights and bulbs and popcorn strings, tangled in a knot
Then I spend the day separating what I''ve got

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

It''s three days till Christmas, I spent all day writing cards
I started writing letters now I just say "best regards"
I shove ''em in a mailbox and to the mall I go
To get gifts for Jim and Jane and Tim and Uncle Joe (and Aunt Mavis and Aunt Beatrice and Grandpa and Grannie....)

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

Two days till Christmas, a million things to do
Clean the house, put on tea, company is due
Where are my relatives, why haven''t showed up
I bet they''re at the airport I forgot to pick them up

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Aaahhhggggrrr!

Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is almost here
Christmas is here!

It''s finally Christmas, the kids wake me up at five
I fall downstairs a messy haired zombie, half-alive
Spend all day serving company, then fall down inert
If these are my holidays I''d rather stay at work
