It's not even Thanksgiving and you're putting up the stockings
and putting up the lights upon the tree
I know its Black Friday but I'd rather stay in bed
Than get punched out fighting for Walmart TV
Christmas Music on the radio, candy canes and Eggnog
Everyone gets Candy in their shoe
I hate that commercial where they buy their kids a Lexus
like thats a normal fucking thing to do!
Ho Ho Ho you can suck my ass Christmas
I don't feel that festive today
Its only mid November, Christ wasn't born til late December
And whats a Raindeer go to do with Jesus anyway?
Time for Christmas party's ugly sweaters and for shopping
Time to buy me presents that I want
Time to take a second loan, so your can buy the new IPhone
a PS4 and some brand new clothes to flaunt
You say I'm just a scrooge and that its a season to be giving
that its the "most wonderful time of the year"
But I'm spending all my money and Santa gets the credit
I think its better to buy alcohol and Beer
Ho Ho Ho you can suck my ass Christmas
I don't feel that festive today
Its only mid November, Christ wasn't born til late December
And whats a Raindeer go to do with Jesus anyway?
I never learned Swahili, I can't find my dashiki
but I like your seven principles I proclaim
Oh Maulana Karenga where have you been-ga??
How come I'm not invited if we're all the same??
Hey Hey Hey you can suck my ass Kwanzaa
you never invited me to your party anyways
I guess you just don't like me, maybe cause I am Scot Irish
but I thought this thing was about equality!!
All sorts of whiskey all kinds of rum
Party is getting started
We take this serious son
My time is precious my ladies' fine
Wash down that cold cold beer
With a jug of cheap wine
Don't doubt it, shout it
This is serious
Rolling down the road w my Music blaring
the girls staring at us
This is serious bizness
Turn the music down, that'll never happen -
clapping and making a fuss
This is serious business
Did you get the message
Hear it Loud and clear?
Standing here in my chucks
Grinning ear to ear
Take my pleasure serious don't leave nuthin to chance
When it comes to sat night its booze and girls and dancin
a younger man he spreads himself
so thin to the horizon
it's not the dignity of gravity he wants
I dug myself out from the dirt, good roots gone dispossessed
I had no need for such as your blue dress
your blue gingham dress
I rode so far afield to find
I know not what I sought
while you sowed seeds of lavender and sage
I clutched the photograph, your crooked smile, your hair a mess
and I thought some more about your gingham dress
your blue gingham dress
we've seen the good times
and the best ones
I'll never doubt your sense of direction
so never nonchalant
I hope you'll always want
to dance with me in your blue gingham dress
I thought about your green eyes
the quiet way you worked
the peacefulness you struggled so to find
the soil brings forth the shoots
the flowers fearful to express
the joyful yes of your blue gingham dress
your blue gingham dress
like the sun above the treeline
shadows shortened to a point
the days grew long and I began to yearn
to spread these cloths beneath your feet
your dreams to hear confessed
to hide my face in your blue gingham dress
your blue gingham dress
we've seen the good times
and the best ones
I'll never doubt your sense of direction
so never nonchalant
I hope you'll always want
to dance with me in your blue gingham dress
funny how i had to go so far away to find
the girl down at the local record store
her blue gingham dress
your blue gingham dress
