It's the night before the night before Christmas
Old friends together the same time every year
She's leaving him but he doesn't know it
To everyone else it's perfectly clear
Their holiday party has [Incomprehensible] in the air
A secret that he doesn't share
She's found another, she's movin' on
The day after New Year's she's gone
The guests are uneasy they don't know how to act
Tell him or keep it hushed
Take a drink and a snack, talking behind his back
Soon everyone's getting lushed
It's the night before the night before Christmas
Old friends together the same time every year
She's leaving him but he doesn't know it
To everyone else it's perfectly clear
She said promise you won't spend a lot on my present
Just give me something small
A little reminder is more than enough
It's the thought that counts after all
The gift that she's given him, he can't foresee
A gift that begins with deal
When he gets the papers, things will look grim
Why ruin Christmas for him?
It's the night before the night before Christmas
One year later together as friends
They moved apart, the party's still going
A holiday spirit never will end, a holiday spirit never will end
