First Christmas I remember beneath that Christmas tree Was everything I asked for, wrapped up and bought for me It was a big disappointment, turned out to be One big disappointment for me One day I played the lottery, I thought it might be fun Now, I'll spare the boring details, just suffice to say I won And what a big disappointment, turned out to be One big disappointment for me If I'd known that all those dreams were coming true I might have dreamed a better dream or two Oh yeah, dream on Oh well, I found a cure for cancer and I cured the common cold Felt about the same as when I won the Superbowl It was a big disappointment, turned out to be One big disappointment for me I dated supermodels and I won the Nobel prize I ran nations and religions by the time I realized It was a big disappointment, turned out to be A big disappointment for me Old Solomon said all his vanity And whoever said to be or not to be Got one big disappointment And when I found my one true love So precious and divine Lived happy ever after all twenty-seven times And what a big disappointment, turned out to be A big disappointment for me Have pity on a working man Unschooled and unrefined So unsophisticated that he's happy all the time And what a big disappointment that has to be One big disappointment An extremely big, real big, very big disappointment
