Straight No Chaser - The Christmas Can-Can lyrics

Christmas, Christmas time is here
And Christmas songs you love to hear
Thoughts of joy and hope and cheer
But mostly shopping, shopping, shopping!
Christmas, Christmas time is here
The sleigh bells and red nosed deer
Songs and songs we love to hear
All played a thousand times each year

Heard this same song 20 times
And it's only Halloween (Joy to the World)
(I saw three ships come sailing
In on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day)
It's not even cold outside
(Deck the halls with boughs of holly)
Christmas, Christmas time is here
And Christmas songs you love to hear
(Hark the herald angels sing, joy to)
Thoughts of joy and hope and cheer
But mostly shopping, shopping, shopping!

Christmas season, starting sooner every year
It's October
Stores with plastic Christmas trees
Ransack the mall
Shop until you lose your mind
Spike the eggnog, sit back and watch
Rudolf, Frosty, Tiny Tim, and
Scrooge, the Grinch, or Charlie Brown

It's time
It's time to do the Christmas can-can
If you can't, can't dance
Well that's okay
(Not going to do the kick line)
All you need is a tree, some lights
About a thousand presents
Wrap them up and pray for snow
Run to your closet, find
Your Christmas sweaters
Screaming carols all the way
(fa la la la la)
Maine all the way to California
It's the Christmas can-can Halloween
To Christmas day

It's the most wonderful time of year
We're running mad with Christmas cheer
Hey, what's troubling you my friend?
It's not fair if you're Jewish, Jewish
(Not fair if you're Jewish, Jewish)
Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel
I made it out of clay
You realize that Christmas ain't
The only holiday (Oy)

Hey! He's right, who made these laws?
Look! Wait! Here comes Santa Claus
Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Santa Claus
Santa Claus
(Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa, Santa
Santa, Santa, Santa, guys?)

Hey, Santa do the can-can
Help them if you can-can join in the parade
(I'm gonna go grab some Chinese food)
All you need is a tree
Some lights about a thousand presents
Wrap them up and pray for snow
Run to your closet find your Christmas
Sweaters screaming carols all the way
(fa la la la la)
Prance all the way to Indiana
It's the Christmas can-can that's the end

Wait for our ending
We should share this holiday
I wanna give a happy Hanukkah to
You, a happy Hanukkah to you
A happy Hanukkah to you
A merry Christmas, Hanukkah, and also Kwanzaa
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah
And Mer-ry Kwan-zaa too
