Bah, humbug!  No, that's too strong
          Bb
'Cause it is my favorite holiday

But all this year's been a busy blur
      Db                C
Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush
        Bb
Just 'cause it 'tis the season.
    Eb
The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left from

Last year, ski shop,
  Bb
Encounter, most interesting.
Eb
Had his number but never the time
Db                    C
Most of '81 passed along those lines.

Couldn't agree when we were both free.

Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
Eb
No, this time it was me,
Db              C
Sunburn in the third degree.

Turned down all of my invites.

Last fall I had a night to myself,
Bb
Same guy called, Halloween party,
Eb
Waited all night for him to show,
Db                  C
This time his car wouldn't go.

    Bb
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
Bb
Trudge on home to celebrate

In a quiet way, unwind
F                Bb
Doing Christmas right this time.

A&P has provided me
            Bb
With the world's smallest turkey
  Eb
Already in the oven, nice and hot

Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

        Bb
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
        Bb
To the only all-night grocery,

When what to my wondering eyes should appear
        Db                        C
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

        Bb
I'm spending this one alone, he said.
            Bb
Need a break; this year's been crazy.
  Eb
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
        Db              C
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

        Bb
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening

That Christmas magic's brought this tale

To a very happy ending!

It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax,
Bb                  A
Turned down all of my invites.

G
Last fall I had a night to myself,
G
Same guy called, Halloween party,
C
Waited all night for him to show,
Bb                  A
This time his car wouldn't go.

    G
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late,
G
Trudge on home to celebrate
        C
In a quiet way, unwind
D                G
Doing Christmas right this time.

Verse 4 :
G
A&P has provided me
            G
With the world's smallest turkey
  C
Already in the oven, nice and hot
  Bb                A
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?

        G
So on with the boots, back out in the snow
        G
To the only all-night grocery,
        C
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
        Bb                        A
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year!

        G
I'm spending this one alone, he said.
            G
Need a break; this year's been crazy.
  C
I said, "Me too, but why are you?
        Bb              A
You mean you forgot cranberries too?"

        G
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
        G
Caught on to what was happening
        C
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
        D          G
To a very happy ending!
