Hoping For Christmas

Hoping for Christmas
Maybe I'll find my way back home
A time for forgiveness badly needed
You're all I've got now
As long as you're there I'll be just fine
Miracles happen, and you're still mine
It's snowing and so cold
But knowing you like I do
I'm hoping for Christmas
Hope against hope we'll be alright
Whoever's my witness
Knows I'll always love you
This will be different
Baby please say I'm too late
You're all I want this Christmas day

The Buttercups - Holiday
03:26

I've been workin', I know you have too
When it finally comes around, we'll know just what to do with our
Holiday (x6)
I know it seems like forever but it's comin' soon
And when it finally gets here we'll be right in tune with our
Holiday (x6)
I know you heard what I said
Santa done messed with my head
Holiday (etc.)

I Used To Like Christmas
02:02
|

I used to like Christmas / And all of that noise
We'd sing about Santa / And open our toys
I used to like Christmas / It wasn't that bad
Sometimes I still miss it / But now it's just sad
But I'm still determined not to let it wreck the whole damn day
I didn't wanna dress up (Sure that's true)
Or comb my hair (I'm with you)
But something from Remco (Remco's cool)
Made everything square (He's no fool)
Now everything's different (You don't say)
Baby now that you're gone (Gone away)
It only reminds me (I s'pose it would)
I'm all on my own (I guess but)
I'm just not gonna let it upset me
I'm still determined not to let it wreck the whole damn day
I used to like Christmas (Well, you would)
It used to be good (not that good)
Now you can take Christmas (take it away)
Kinda wish that you would (all the live long day)
Who cares about Christmas? (Here it comes)
Well what if I do? (That's just dumb)
It'll never be Christmas (Sure it will)
If I don't have you (Aw, stuff it)
I'm still not gonna let it upset me
Even though I know Santa might forget me
I'm still determined not to let it wreck the whole damn day

Another Sweaty Christmas
02:50
|
|||
I can't take another sweaty Christmas
I'm not in the mood to deck the halls
I'm not going Christmas shopping
For garbage for your Christmas stocking
I will not be budging
Nor sadly trudging through the malls
No one's gonna die without these presents:
A calendar; some soap; a stinking tie
You can have your corn a popping
For me this corny crap is stopping
The madness of the season
Is just another reason to cry
They all think I'm such a grouch
'Cuz I don't wanna leave my couch
Even though it's not safe here anyway
You can't even trust your cable on a day like today
Santa, Rudolph, Bing, and Crosby
Jesus H. Christ -what's this costing
Us in terms of mental stability?
Think of all that shattered tranquility!
And I can't take another sweaty Christmas
You guys let me know when you're all through
Not dawning any gay apparel
The kiddies make me glad I'm sterile
Hang those smelly reindeer
Say you feel my pain, dear, too
'Cause you know in the end
I'll only want to spend it with you

Holiday Task Minutia
02:43
|

Holiday’s here / What is clear
Through the year without fail
The minutia will always appear
Here is one task / Much too long did it last
Didn't go all that fast (2nd time: Man, it all goes so fast!)
I will now state / Clearly delineate
On this date what occurred
Trouble did infiltrate
The holiday trunk / Full of beautiful junk
Later wine will be drunk
I have this simple story to tell
There was a trap and into it I fell
Some things appear along with good cheer
What gets me tied up in knots once again
On unforeseen things you can surely depend
Holiday task minutia will pass
Stocking to pin / I begin
A push pin, push it in / With the force of my thumb bone and skin
Don’t wish to bore / But I must tell you more
Th[en] it fell to the floor
I must not fail / Fetch a nail
I will wail with a hammer
Alas, found my aim had gone stale
What have I done / Gone and smashed my own thumb
Reckless man, I’m the one
I have this simple story to tell
There was a trap and into it I fell
Some things appear along with good cheer
What gets me tied up in knots once again
On unforeseen things you can surely depend
Holiday task minutia will pass

Hang your stockings by the chimney with care
'Cuz you know the fat man will soon be there
He'll treat you right, man, he'll treat you square on Christmas
I'm thinking eggnog and mistletoe
And we're overdue for some ho ho ho
The sleigh is ready all we need is snow for Christmas day
It's so hard to wait patiently
When you know what's comin'
Guess that's probably what the whiskey's for
And this guitar I'm strummin'
Once the children open all their toys
It's time for all the older girls and boys
To share some peace after all that noise on Christmas day

Standing over by the fireplace
Evertime she laughs I have to look
If you wanna hear about holiday
I'm bettin' she wrote the book
BRIDGE:
Maybe she's feeling good because it's Christmas
Maybe she just plain likes this time of year
Every time Isee her I re-adjust my Christmas wishes
Whatever makes her this happy, stsy right here
CHORUS:
It's a holiday
I wanna rock Christmas this Christmas
I wanna rock Christmas- it's a holiday
I wanna rock Christmas this Christmas
I wanna rock Christmas- it's a holiday
Chestnuts roasting by an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
It seems to me a person with enough desire
Could rollaway the buttons and bows
BRIDGE / CHORUS

It's Christmas
02:47
|
|||
Well here it comes- it’s like a big steamroller
Well here it comes- it’s like a big steamroller
Holy roller
Santa’s coming soon
It’s probably Christmas on the moon
Well deck them halls and ring them bells
‘Cause after all, it’s Christmas
No time to fight, you’re bound to lose
Before the might of Christmas time.
It’s frightening… oh yeah
Bring on the eats, it’s Christmas
Get off the streets, it’s Christmas
We’re making hay, it’s Christmas
Get outta the way, it’s Christmas
It takes all day, it’s Christmas

Hey Santa
I got a long long list
And I don't wanna be the house that you miss this year
I hope you got a GPS
And you still remember my address
Hey I tend to worry
I need a bat
And somethin' that's ok to hit
How 'bout a beer and a place to sit?
Hey Santa
I really hate to bring this up
But there's times when you're a little off the mark
I don't need nothin' that don't glow in the dark, I'm not kiddin'
I got priorities
Hey- I'm just sayin'
I need shoes, a phone, a gun with water in it
Time, a clue, and someone that's ok to shoot
A car, a book, a bathtub,
And every now and then I like a nice piece of fruit
|
||||
13. |
||||
Yes yes yes oui oui -Noelle! (x2) (CHORUS)
Santa's getting' ready / to hit us with some toys
I'm hopin' all the bad bad girls / Will talk to the bad bad boys and say
CHORUS
It's that time of the season / time to spread some cheer
I want you to give me something baby / Something to last all year
I want you to say
CHORUS
