The days are getting shorter The nights are getting long The air is getting chilly and I'm thinking of a song The sun is low, the stars are bright The winter wind is brisk And I know that by saying this I'm taking somewhat of a risk But… I can't help it, I just like Christmas The carols, the colors, the fuss A stolen little knip under the mistletoe I know it's not supposed to be for us I can't help it, I just like Christmas Making pretty window stencils with white dust When sleigh bells ring, I like to listen I know it's not supposed to be for us It's not like I want to go and chop down a tree Even if I did you'd say I can't But I got you a few things and I wrapped them real nice
I put them underneath the ficus plant I can't help it, I just like Christmas The Rockettes kicking is a must A chestnut, a roast, an open fire I know it's not supposed to be for us I'd love to sit around in a red velvet suit Little helpers helping me with this and that I'd stop shaving every year after Shemini Atzeret You'd never give me hell for being fat I can't help it, I just like Christmas Eggnog and fruitcake, I could bust The detail, the retail, the sweet sales that follow I know it's not supposed to be It's not like it's like blasphemy So what if it's not supposed to be for us I know it's not supposed to be for us
