Lights around the tree  
Mama’s whistling  
Takes me back again  
There’s something bout’ December

Time, take this sadness from me  
Time, bring my heart back safely  
Hold on to warm September  
Cause life can be like December snow

If it doesn’t snow on Christmas  
How will Santa get around to us?  
If he breaks down on his way to town  
Will they let him use a bus?

Is an excuse to tolerate snow

I’ve got to get home - Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there  
Say, lend me your coat - It’s up to your knees out there  
You’ve really been grand - Thrill when you touch my hand  
Why don’t you see - How can you do this thing to me?

There’s bound to be talk tomorrow - Think of my life long sorrow  
At least there will be plenty implied - If you caught pneumonia and died  
I really can’t stay - Get over that hold out  
Ah, but it’s cold outside  
Oh, baby, it’s cold outside

They keep their boyfriends warm at night.

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone  
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own  
Lonely is the night when there’s no one left to call  
You feel the time is right, say the writing’s on the wall

Were written on the studio wall - concert halls  
And echoes with the sound of salesmen…of salesmen…of salesmen

Jenny came over and told me 'bout Brad  
He’s such a hairy behemoth she said  
Dumb as a box of hammers  
But he’s such a handsome guy.

Crackle with life  
Bright antennae  
Bristle with the energy  
Emotional feedback  
On a timeless wavelength  
Bearing a gift beyond price  
Almost free
