Well, mama's in the kitchen, bakin' up the puddin' Kids sneakin' peeks at the things that they shouldn't Dogs are in the backyard, diggin' up a skeleton Might be neighbor's cat but we're not tellin' 'em Nothin' that we asked for, underneath the tree Socks an' shortbread, an' camomile tea But everyone's happy an' everything's fine Oh Lord, it's Christmas time It's Christmas time Turkey an' lovin' comin' from the oven Uncle Nash is grumpy an' he's yellin' at the cousins Stereo's playin' Emmylou an' Herb Pedersen Poppa Bill's drinkin' his home made medicine Stockin's on the mantel with everybody's name Worm's watchin' replay of a football game But everyone's happy an' everything's fine Oh Lord, it's Christmas time It's Christmas time Well, I'm readin' the cards that everyone sent Tryin' to figure out where the last year went 'Cause I'm older now but I'm no more wise But these crows keep walkin' around my eyes But I look around the room an' all I can see Are smilin' faces in the family 'Cause everyone's happy as everything's fine Oh Lord, it's Christmas time It's Christmas time Christmas time It's Christmas time It's Christmas time Christmas time It's Christmas time It's Christmas time It's Christmas time It's Christmas time It's Christmas time
