about

Christmas 2015. Here I am in the thick of my Grinch-i-ness... this song is true, I did indeed have to try and be nice. This is also my best attempt at the Bruce Springsteen by way of Phil Spector Christmas song.

lyrics

This year I’ll try to be nice
But, it’s not for Jesus H Christ
It’s for you, it’s for you

This year I won’t make you cry
But not for reindeer who fly
It’s for you, it’s for you

And it happens every year
Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear

Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line
I’ll put down my eggnog and rum and drink water instead

This year I’ll give it a shot
But, it’s not for ol’ Santa Claus
It’s for you, it’s for you

This year I’ll hold it inside
I don’t care who’s naughty or nice
Except for you, it’s all for you

And it happens every year
Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear
And it happens every year
Christmas cheer’s got me running in fear

Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line
I’ll put down my eggnog and rum and drink water instead
… or at least I’ll pretend

Just give me a sign, if I’m walking the line

This year I’ll try to be nice
