Nothing can kill this Christmas spirit
Nothing you say can bring me down
Say what you want but I aint gonna hear it
Because Christmas is gonna be a happy time this year

Thought it was gonna be a blue Christmas season
Or maybe even a black one, I didn't know
Thought it'd be hard to get in the mood because I
Thought I'd want to strangle Santa Claus
With jingle bells if I heard him laughing at me

But a green Christmas or a white Christmas is
Better than black and blue
So I'm stringing up some lights
To put more color in my life
Before I go insane

Nothing can kill this Christmas spirit
Nothing you say can bring me down
Say what you want but I aint gonna hear it
Because Christmas is gonna be a happy time this year

Thought I'd be lucky if I even got coal on Christmas morning
Thought there'd be some very silent nights
And if I heard those herald angels sing I'd want to
Stuff their vocal chords with their wings
Hark That Bitches !!!
I'm done with harmony

But then I hear my favorite Christmas songs
And a change comes over me
So I'm putting up the tree
To regain my sanity
(and) Decorate over my misery

Looking at the faces of little kids
All starry eyed and innocent
Hanging out with friends and family this time of year
Helps me to forget my cynicism
And makes me think of other times, drinking,
Laughing and toasting Christmas cheers

Nothing can kill this Christmas spirit
Nothing you say can bring me down
Say what you want but I aint gonna hear it
Because Christmas is gonna be a happy time this year
god damn it!
