come sit down by the fire
and warm your precious bones
we’ll toast the dead and tell tales of the old
times before we sail on
in younger days I ruined my liver
and lost every fight
including the one to stay single and happy
and for that I blame you my wife
curse the past and time gone by too fast
let’s dance let’s drink and sing so sweet
I promise next year will be richer than the last
we’ll live like kings on Christmas street
sing young lovers leave your worries aside
there’s nothing to despair
you have the whole world and all it provides
in front of you in the new year
curse the past and time gone by too fast
let’s dance let’s drink and sing
I promise next year will be richer than the last
we’ll live like kings on Christmas street
come sit down by the fire
and warm your frozen bones
we’ll toast the dead and tell tales of the old time
before we sail on

Let Yer Hair Down

I thought I heard the jingle jangle
of sleigh bells so glad you arrived
come on in & take your coat off I know it’s cold outside
come on in baby where its safe and warm
everybody’s sippin on their holiday wine
everybody’s talking about the new year
cuz the old year is at the end of the line
and I know the waterfall
color of your eyes and the heat of your fire
everybody’s gonna let their hair down
let yer hair down it’s Christmas time
we got you covered if you wanna
if you wanna hang out here all night
anybody ever tell ya that you’re cooler
than the northern lights in a wintery sky
everybody loves ya but they’re all ass kissers
listen to em whisper you’re a fire that burns hot
everybody says that they been good this year
but they’ve been bad this year they just didn’t get caught
and you know its our own damn fault
all looking back and turning into salt
all we have left is each other
so let yer hair down it’s Christmas time

baby out the window look its started snowing
yeah its snowin take a look outside
1 part oxygen and 2 hydrogen getting frozen
and falling from the sky
not to be presumptious can we take a moment
just a moment and consider this
idea we could go outside and build a snowman
yes a snowman baby I insist
thats all it takes to ignite sparks
on a cold and dark winter day
somewhere on the other side of the ocean
yeh the ocean so far away
the sun is hot it tickles water into motion
the commotion evaporates
1 part oxygen and 2 hydrogen getting frozen
and falling from the sky
use your xmas magic baby brew the potion
mm the potion bring this snowman to life
thats all it takes to ignite sparks
on a cold and dark winter day
out the window baby look its started snowing
yeah its snowin go take a look outside
would you like to go out there and build a snowman
uh huh a snowman just you and I
and baby there’s one thing you simply gotta know man
man to woman c’mere and listen tight
baby you and only can bring this snowman
yeh the snowman bring me back to life

hard to believe another year is past
swear it just got started thought this one would last
a little bit longer now everybody's growin old too fast
but they're all comin over
Christmas is here at last
Mom and Dad have been drinking since the day began
they've fought a war twice as long as Afghanistan
they yell and cry and hope you die just like the best of friends
starting to feel a lot like the holidays again
Christmas is here Christmas is here
ready or not its time to start havin a little cheer
Christmas has finally come again
Judy and cousin Sam have just arrived
they crashed their pick up sideways in the neighbors drive
uncle Jim has fallen down and bloodied up his chins
starting to feel a lot like the holidays again
Christmas is here Christmas is here
ready or not its time to start loving all your friends
Christmas has finally come again

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share
Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...
