Lyrics

There’s time tomorrow for a silent night
But today we’ll gather ‘round and be merry and bright
So top up your drink and prop up your granny
It’s the annual holiday hootenanny

Let’s all go a-wassailing among the neighbour’s yard
And track our muddy boots all on their floor
So no one will find out that we spilled wine on that guitar
And return all of our presents to the store

The banjo player’s singing, she’s been drinking too much nog
No one told her that it’s full of rum
Now she’s on the kitchen table dancing with the dog
In the morning won’t remember what she’s done

Let’s all get together and sing a buncha songs
But no one can remember all the words
Everybody mumbles when it’s time to sing along
*mumblemumblemumblemumblemumble* -ERDS

There’s turkey in the oven and there’s biscuits in the pan
Don’t mention that the kitchen smells like smoke
There’s way too many people in there trying to lend a hand
And your uncle keeps repeating that dumb joke

We’ll deck the halls with all our coats and leave our hats behind
Add our brick of fruitcake to the pile
We’ll write our names on paper cups and eat way too much pie
We’ll have ourselves a merry little while
