the clock read DEC two three
when my ex heard through her ceiling
a drunk in red well sadly that was me
i broke her lights while caroling
the papers spun their own stories
some called me a defender, some pc
the christians and the left wing misread me
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now the preacher thinks he speaks for me
but i'm fighting for what i believe
it's not a baby but a needle tree
some mistletoe and memories
through my cell i heard sleigh bells ring
the wall came down who did i see
but Santa staring down from his red sleigh
said boy you better come with me
we'll use well your celebrity
and make a christmas documentary
so hop in cos we've got some dreams to keep
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now we're flying high on christmas eve
and i film him climb down the chimneys
we finished up in greece at ten past three
when they see this they'll all believe
then santa poured us a couple tall spiked eggnogs
and he turned to me and said son
you're last on the list,
what do you want from me?
i said bring my girl back to me
he said there's rules are you crazy?
i broke the tape in rage and he tackled me
(chorus)
<merry christmas>
now we're rolling around in the street
and st. nick reached back and cold cocked me
<scary christmas>
i woke up with my girl over me
she said that's why we don't do lsd
