Joy to the World

“Joy To The World. The Lord Is Come.”

Hear the children sing.

Gaily caroling.

And I’m glad that it’s only Christmas.

“Joy To The World”. Their voices ring.

To an empty house.

Quiet as a mouse’s house.

Here alone without my missus.

The livin’ room ain’t fit for livin’ in.

She’s been gone since Thanksgivin’.

“Peace On Earth. Good Will To All Men.”

I think I’m gonna cry.

And you and I know the reason why.

It’s only just because it’s Christmas.

“Away In A Manger”. In some hotel she lays her head.

The carolers are gone.

Just a-carolin’ on.

Holidays don’t phase the missus.

But I got a feelin’ it’ll all be fixed

On December the twenty-sixth

And it’s only Christmas bringin’ me down.
