Christmas Party

(album: Somebody Shot Sunshine - 1984)

I hope you have a Merry Christmas
I hope you have a Happy New Year
We're throwing a Christmas party
You should come cause there's lots of beer

Jonny's in the kitchen making cookies
Sally's in the bathroom drinking rum
And I'm standing here telling everyone there's lots of beer
Oh, how I wish that you could come

We've never had a party like this before
It'd be a shame if you miss it, it's not a bore
Won't say no more
Wanna hear you knocking at the door

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
I said it before I'll say it again
This Christmas is one that can't be missed
The best one we've had since 1910

Sally's in the street directing traffic
Jonny's in the cellar drinking gin
And I'm standing here saying don't forget the beer
And oh, what a great year it's been

We've never had a party like this before
It'd be a shame if you miss this one, it's not a bore
Won't say no more
Wanna hear you knocking at the door

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
I hope you'll have a holiday of cheer
We're throwing a Christmas party
You should come cause there's lots of beer

Jonny's in the kitchen cooking mistletoe
He says he's making a mistletoe pie
And I'm making a fuss, cause mistletoe's poisonous
What the hell, I don't care, they can die!

Deck the halls, with boughs of holly
Fa lah lah lah lah

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
I hope you have a Happy New Year
You can forget about Ronnie Reagan
Whatever you do, don't forget the beer
