Christmas Time

Well, mama's in the kitchen, bakin' up the puddin'

Kids sneakin' peeks at the things that they shouldn't

Dogs are in the backyard, diggin' up a skeleton

Might be neighbor's cat but we're not tellin' 'em

Nothin' that we asked for, underneath the tree

Socks an' shortbread, an' camomile tea

But everyone's happy an' everything's fine

Oh Lord, it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

Turkey an' lovin' comin' from the oven

Uncle Nash is grumpy an' he's yellin' at the cousins

Stereo's playin' Emmylou an' Herb Pedersen

Poppa Bill's drinkin' his home made medicine

Stockin's on the mantel with everybody's name

Worm's watchin' replay of a football game

But everyone's happy an' everything's fine

Oh Lord, it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

Well, I'm readin' the cards that everyone sent

Tryin' to figure out where the last year went

'Cause I'm older now but I'm no more wise

But these crows keep walkin' around my eyes

But I look around the room an' all I can see

Are smilin' faces in the family

'Cause everyone's happy as everything's fine

Oh Lord, it's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

Christmas time

It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

Christmas time

It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time

It's Christmas time
