loudon wainwright iii – suddenly it’s christmas (live) lyrics
suddenly it’s christmas, right after halloween
forget about thanksgiving-it’s just a buffet in between
there’s lights and tinsel in the windows, they’re stocking up the shelves
santa’s slaving at the north pole in his sweatshop full of elves
there’s got to be a build-up to the day that christ was born
the halls are decked with pumpkins and ears of indian corn
dragging through the falling leaves in a one-horse open sleigh
suddenly it’s christmas-seven weeks before the day
suddenly it’s christmas – the longest holiday
when they say “season’s greetings” they mean just what they say
it’s a season, it’s a marathon – retail eternity
and it’s not over till it’s over and you throw away the tree
outside it’s positively balmy, in the air nary a nip
suddenly it’s christmas, unb-ttoned and unzipped
yes, they’re working overtime, santa’s little runts
christmas comes but once a year and goes on for two months
christmas carols in december and november, too
it’s no wonder we’re depressed when the whole thing is through
finally it’s january – let’s sing “auld lang syne”
but here comes another heartache shaped like a valentine
suddenly it’s christmas, the longest holiday
the season is upon us – a pox, it won’t go away
it’s a season, it’s a marathon – retail eternity
it’s not over till it’s over
and you throw away the tree
no, it’s not over till it’s over
and you throw away the tree
it’s still not over till it’s over
and you throw away the tree
