Your mother is a lunatic You think youve left the oven on You find out theres no Santa Claus Youre doggy cant remember you You want to move up to Vermont You just ran out of underwear Your prescription wont renew You just ran into your ex The handyman was very rude Your landlord just evicted you Its cosy by the fireplace You really have to blow your nose It must, it must, it must go on Arnold says it must go on Children carry through the streets A brilliant painted star Angels gather round the hearth Strumming on guitars Men of great renown and faith Say prayers on boulevards Its the night before Christmas But you dont have to be an angel To sing harmony And you dont have to be a child To love the mystery And you dont have to be a wise man On bended knee The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The night before Christmas The night before Christmas If youre hearts been longing And youve been afraid to try Sorrows kept you company And the dance has passed you by Ill lift you up and blaze with you Across the moonlit sky On the night before Christmas Cause you dont have to be an angel To sing in harmony And you dont have to be a child to love the mystery And you dont have to be a wise man On bended knee The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The heart of this Christmas is in you and me The night before Christmas The night before Christmas
