Oh look, it′s snowing!
Turn down the lights
Oh, would you look at that
Watch it coming down
On a Christmas night
When you see that snow
You know
That the world's all right
All the gifts unwrapped
With the house a mess
But if no one cried
Or died
That′s a small success
Right?
This year we nearly went insane
This year we gave up turkey for chow mein
What a Christmas story to behold
A crazy Christmas story to be told
But with the kids tucked in bed
The frost on the tree
What's to be said when you are here, next to me?
Who could want much more?
Our Christmas story
We were counting down
Down to Christmas day
Thought I'd get a box of socks
That I′d throw away
But the day arrived
Someone somehow knew
Right before my eyes
Surprise
My wish came true
This year we might not have a lot
This year
I′ll tell you one thing that we've got
What a Christmas story to behold
A crazy Christmas story to be told
I′ll take the cheap Christmas wines
The slush in the street
The crowds and the lines
They make the season complete
Who could ask for more?
This Christmas story
Back in those days, you never asked yourself
"Do my parents love me?"
It never crossed your mind
You were there
They took care of you
Their job was to raise you
Your job was to let them
When they said "Don't run with scissors"
Or "Button your coat"
Or "You′ll shoot your eye out"
Maybe even they didn't know it
But that′s what it was
Love
Years may pass but still, we will remember
Wonder where we'll be
Being here together this December
Underneath our tree
See every girl and boy
With a heart so full of joy
We'll look back someday
From far away
We′ll say
What a Christmas story to behold (what a Christmas story to behold)
A crazy Christmas story to be told
That night
Next to me in the darkness
Lay my cold blue steel beauty
The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received
You kiddin′?
My old man
My dad gave it to me
That's why it′s the best gift I would ever receive
As the excitement of the day gradually subsided
I finally drifted off to sleep
Pranging ducks on the wing
And getting off spectacular hip shots
Christmas is here this calm, quiet night
It comes once a year so you hold on to it tight
Who could want much more?
A Christmas story
Good night, Ralphie
Good night, all
Thanks for listening
Merry Christmas
