about

Finally - a seasonal singalong for those of us just trying to get through the holidays. Fear not: the blissful boredom of January is just around the corner...

lyrics

somewhere somebody’s sitting fireside
with a glass of fine wine
well it must be nice
me
I’m stuck here waiting in this retail line
keyed up and queued up with tidings
I can’t afford to buy
ho ho ho
oh no
it ain’t no joke
Santa baby this year
I’ve been truly broke

what can I say?
I don’t wanna do the holidays

lemme get through till New Year's Day
when half my blues
are sure to fly away
fly away
fly away
I just gotta get through

gotta get through
what can I do?
gotta get through?
What can I do?
no really
what can I do when

the world has stopped here in this parking lot because
fa la la la la
we’ve all just got to shop shop shop
good will to all
it seems a lonely thought
god bless us everyone
looks like we all forgot
walking in this winter wonderland
it leaves me spent
and in the end what
I’m just bloated lonely hungover sad and in debt

I’m confused and I’m dazed
and I don’t wanna do the holidays

lemme get through till New Year's Day
when half my blues are sure to melt away
I just gotta get through

gotta get through the office party and the secret santa shopping
gotta get through the mandatory seasonal engagement hopping
gotta get through the darkest nights and shortest days and supermarket rage
pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
then line up all over again on Boxing Day

just wake me up when it is finally spring
till then I don’t intend to do much of anything
I’ll be counting down the minutes till my new beginning
as soon as those jingle bells stop ringing
New Year, new me
I’ll turn over a new leaf
till then would you just let me be

lemme get through
will I get through
if I get through till New Year's Day
half my blues are sure to melt away

when I get through till New Year's Day
half my blues are sure to fly away
