C
Oh no, the rugged soul,
F
The great back yard, and the cold North Pole
C                             F
I resent that Santa went and left us in the Alamo
F                                   C
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
C                                     F
Would you like to wrap the gifts and have a drink?

Chorus:
A#
The only one condition, (I know the one)
F
I've got the premonition (I've got a clue)
Dm7                          C
That Christmas is a vision, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
A#
If drinking makes it easy (so pass one here)
F
The music's kind of cheesy (and sing a cheer)
Dm7
The specials on the TV (especially)
C
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho

Dreams go, and stay below
The cattle call, and the old dark soul
I respect that Santa left,
to save his kids from the winter cold
Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?
(Would you like to stay a while and dance with me?)
Mistletoe, and chestnuts roasting on the street
(Mistletoe and chestnuts roasting)

Chorus:
The only one condition, I've got the premonition
That Christmas is a vision, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
If drinking makes it easy (so have one here)
The music's kind of cheesy (and share our cheer)
The specials on the TV
(the specials on the TV screen)

A#      F                         Gm
No one save you from Christmas's past
                F                       A#
You'll have to love it, or leave it at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases past
You'll have to love him, or leave him at last
No one can save you from Christmases
