Mr & Mrs Claus

Nobody ever knew an elf
That could keep a secret to himself
I’ve been hearing rumours flying
That a marriage might be dying
I guess that it gets awful cold
Up there in the Northern Pole
But we got to heat those hearts up
It’s time to get this couple back on course
Mr and Mrs Claus
Don’t get a divorce
Because goodness knows
There’s enough of those
Your marriage is bigger than
Love between a woman and a man
So Mr and Mrs Claus
Stay together of course!
As far as institutions go
You could do a whole lot worse you know
So it shouldn’t be disparaged
Why not stick with marriage
Nobody said it would be bliss
Because home is where the heartache is
But we gotta heat those hearts up
‘cause divorce is the worst present of all
Say ‘you do’
See it through
Nobody ever knew an elf
That could keep a secret to himself
I’ve been hearing rumours flying
That this marriage might be dying
But having problems ain’t a sin
And don’t tell me you don’t feel a thing when
She’s at the table crying
She says, “You’re not even trying"
He says "Look into my eyes now
And find the one you fell for all those years ago.”
And we'll sing it until we're hoarse
Stay together of course!

Hoping Yule Be Mine

Christmas party, fairy lights
She came drifting into sight
But I can’t make bold moves
Frozen legs but heart’s ablaze
I can feel her tender gaze
From across the room
Christmas bells jingle
Our glances intermingle
A girl just caught my eye
This Christmas time
Before this evening gets away
I wanna just go right up and say
I’m hoping you’ll be mine
This Christmas time
Christmas party, crowded room
He came drifting into view
Bit of a surprise
Bashful smile, kinda shy
I guess I should say hi
And get to know those eyes
Christmas bells jingle
Our glances intermingle
A boy just caught my eye
This Christmas time
Before this evening gets away
I’d better just go right up and say
I’m hoping you’ll be mine
This Christmas time
(I’m hoping you’ll be mine)
—She’s coming over
—I’m going over
—Do I look nervous?
—He looks so nervous
—(Both) And suddenly we’re both so near
—We get to talking
—We get to talking
—Words are flying
—Words are flying
—(Both) Christmas is the best time of the year
Christmas bells jingle
Our voices intermingle
You just caught my eye
This Christmas time
Before this evening got away
I’m glad I got the chance to say
I’m hoping you’ll be mine
This Christmas time

Sugar high sugar low
Don’t where to go from here
If you stay I’m gonna go
Don’t know how to control my fear
I should’ve treated you nice
Even when you burnt the rice
You were the only one who stayed by my side
There’s no one at home because my life turned out a mess
I watch TV alone and sitting in my Sunday best
And if I just reached out to my neighbours once or twice
I wouldn’t drink my nog alone this Christmas night
Stripping down, the air con’s broken, like the jolly folk next door
They’re keeping me up, they’re popping the bons, I see them smiling through the door
I fold the invitation they left on my front pavement
Because they don’t want the likes of me
Sitting beneath their Christmas tree
There’s no one at home because my life turned out a mess
I watch TV alone and sitting in my Sunday best
And if I just reached out to my neighbours once or twice
I wouldn’t drink my nog alone this Christmas night
Was I like this as a kid?
Disappointing life I’ve lived
Cold, cold house when I was young
Never dreamt of what I could become
Maybe it’s time to go out and get in a fight
Maybe it’s time to see these Christmas lights up
Everything is going wrong
And everything at once
How could I not overcome something that I've done?
Roll my sleeves up, start again
So my loss stays strong
Forget about the first attempt
When I was young
There’s no one at home but that’ll change, just give me time
Don’t know why you think I’ve got to tell you I’m always fine
I dust myself right down and I walk up to your front porch
I know it’s late but can you handle just one more?

Mama always told me
Have a grateful heart
But I’m sorry ma
This year has just been too damn hard
Work’s been such a drag
And my man ran off
So I’ve had enough
But I might have better luck (when it's)
January
Won’t you come back to me
Don’t you go leaving me under the Christmas tree
And I always hear
That every year’s a gift
But I don’t remember
This heartache on my Christmas list
So take your fairy lights
And your mistletoe
I don’t want to know
I just want another go (when it's)
January
Won't you come back to me
Don't you go leaving me under the Christmas tree
As one year ends
I’ve got my wounds to tend
So hurry home sweet, sweet January
Time goes by
Every day
I don’t want to wish
Any more away
But I’ll fall apart
Without a fresh start
So I’m waiting for the day in

Double Time and a Half

Double time and a half
Well that’s a lot of pay
But sorry boss, it’s not enough
To work on Christmas Day
I know we need hotels
As much as we need jingle bells
But roster someone else on
I don’t think a hotel’s an
Appropriate Christmas stay
I know we need fast food
For people who spatially intrude
But please Mr Ronald
Don’t let your McDonalds
Take my Christmas away
Two hundo fifty percent
Of my standard pay
But you wont a-get me to consent
To working on a-Christmas Day
I know we need service stations
To reach our destinations
But hours behind a counter
Will never quite amount to
Sufficient Christmas pay
You know you need your family
No matter how insane they might be
So go enjoy that rowdy mob
Quit your useless job
So you couldn’t—even if you somehow wanted to—work on Christmas Day
(It’s a big) N/A

On Christmas Day
