Lyrics Barenaked Ladies

Barenaked Ladies

Green Christmas

The streets are filled with Christmas cheer

At least it's only once a year

Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,

And carols ringing in my ear

Bundled up against the cold

Lines wherever gifts are sold

Each shop window displays a Christmas scene

For everybody young and old

Icicles on eavesdrops and tinsel on the tree,

But it's a green Christmas for me

Couples skating on the pond (couples skating the pond)

Making angels on the lawn (makin' angels on the lawn)

Five red mittens drying on the rack

And needles shedding tannenbaum

Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,

But it's a green Christmas in this town

Green, cause of everything I miss

All this mistletoe, no kiss

And with every Christmas wish

There would be no greater gift

Than to have this envy lift

Carolers are at my door (Fa la la la) [etc..]

Don't wanna hear them anymore

Stockings on the mantle

The snow's here everyday

But it's a green Christmas anyway

Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree

But it's a green Christmas for me
