Green Christmas

(альбом: Barenaked For The Holidays - 2004)

The streets are filled with Christmas cheer
At least it's only once a year
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,
And carols ringing in my ear

Bundled up against the cold
Lines wherever gifts are sold
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene
For everybody young and old

Icicles on eavesdrops and tinsel on the tree,
But it's a green Christmas for me

Couples skating on the pond (couples skating the pond)
Making angels on the lawn (making angels on the lawn)
Five red mittens drying on the rack
And needles shedding tannenbaum

Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,
But it's a green Christmas in this town

Green, cause of everything I miss
All this mistletoe, no kiss
And with every Christmas wish
There would be no greater gift
Than to have this envy lift

Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la) [etc..]
Don't wanna hear them anymore
Stockings on the mantle
The snow's here everyday
But it's a green Christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree
But it's a green Christmas for me
