Another summer's gone
donât know where it went
i canât believe
itâs that time of year again
winter's closing in
some kinda messed up time
the calendar begins its race to
December 25
iâm not ready for Christmas
donât need a gift list
donât give a shit how many shopping days are
left this holiday season
give me one reason
i should believe itâs ever gonna change and
why should i be merry
when every January
i come back so very
broken hearted
iâm not ready for Christmas
i think iâll skip this one and
santa i will see you next year
got my blue jeans on
no need for red and green
go rock your light up hat
iâm not tryna make a scene
it just occurs to me
the Grinch was not so mean
he had a point or two
i think heâdve liked me
iâm not ready for Christmas
not gonna listen
donât even ask me cuz iâm telling you iâm
not unpacking my tinsel
putting up mistle-
toe this year iâm gonna kiss it goodbye
and i donât wanna tree or
any company itâs
never how i dream it
white or otherwise
iâm not ready for Christmas
wonât even miss this yule tide
peace on earth
iâll see you next time
iâm done with wrapping boxes
buying things that no one wanted
trying on my own to save the day
while dad plays cards and bro reads verses
momâs in tears between the curses
i need a fucking holiday
iâm not ready for Christmas
donât need a gift list
give me your stockings and iâll stuff em for ya
iâm not ready for sleigh bells
2 months of carols
playing from galway bay to California
and iâm not makin nog
or dressin up the dogs
you can keep your yule log
iâm still burned out
iâm not ready for Christmas
i think iâll sit this out
and maybe i will see you next year
