  • The first thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Is finding a Christmas tree

    The second thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Rigging up the lights
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The third thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Hangovers
    Rigging up the lights
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The fourth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Sending Christmas cards
    Hangovers
    Rigging up the lights
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The fifth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Five months of bills
    Sending Christmas cards
    Hangovers
    Rigging up the lights
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The sixth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Facing my in-laws
    Five months of bills
    I hate those Christmas cards
    Hangovers
    Rigging up these lights!
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The seventh thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Salvation Army
    Facing my in-laws
    Five months of bills
    Sending Christmas cards
    Aw geez!
    I'm trying to rig up these lights!
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The eighth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    I want ant farmer for Christmas
    Charities, and what do you mean your in-laws?
    Five months of bills
    Ah, mailing out these cards!
    Edith, get me a beer, huh!
    What, we have no extension chord?!?
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The ninth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Finding parking spaces
    Daddy, I want some candy!
    Donations!
    Facing my in-laws
    Five months of bills
    Writing up those Christmas cards
    Hangovers
    Now, why the hell are they blinking?
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The tenth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Batteries not included
    No parking spaces
    Buy me something!
    Get a job ya bum!
    Facing the in-laws
    Five months of bills
    Yo ho, sending Christmas cards
    Ah geez, look at this!
    One light goes out, they all go out!
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The eleventh thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Stale TV specials
    Batteries not included
    No parking spaces
    I gotta go to the bathroom
    Charities
    She's a witch, I hate her!
    Five months of bills
    Oh, I don't even know half these people!
    Who's got the toilet paper?
    Get a flashlight, I blew a fuse!
    And finding a Christmas tree

    The twelfth thing at Christmas that's such a pain to me
    Singing Christmas Carols
    Stale TV specials
    Batteries not included
    No parking
    Ah!
    Charities (ah!)
    Gotta make 'em dinner
    Five months of bills
    I'm not sending them, Mister, that's it!
    Shut up, you!
    Fine, you're so smart, you rig up the lights!
