loudon wainwright iii - suddenly it's christmas كلمات الأغنية

suddenly it’s christmas, right after halloweeen.
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 the ears of indian corn.
dragging through the falling leaves
in a one-horse open sleigh,
suddenly it’s christmas,
seven weeks before the day.

chorus:
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.
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.

- loudon wainwright iii
