BRING ON THE X-MAS SPIRITS


It's Christmas time as I lay
awake counting thousands of sheep
Beside me my wife hardly a peep
Dog is snoring how can I sleep?
Odd sounds of rattling ice in the freezer
But it's just the old man we call the old geezer
Grandpa a nightcap is trying to sneak
The kids think its Santa stealing a peak
He will say its just water answer is weak
Cat dumped the cookies getting to the milk spilt
Wife moans, "Not me!" doesn't want the guilt.
She spent all the evening making for Santa a quilt
"Now Dancer, and Prancer, Rudolph's irritating red nose
I'm going to shoot water on Santa with the garden hose
Watch him ice up as it freezes to his clothes
I'm running inside it's cold on my toes
Waited all night going to give the fat man my boot
Everyone else loves him I don't give a hoot
Get the Reindeer off my roof or the red nose I'll shoot
I'm waiting for football the home team I'll root
They don't win often most of the time home team do lose
But who cares no one is talking to me as I drink the booze
