Lyrics:

Vanessa and Mollie:
Bah Humbug!
Vanessa:
No that's too strong 'cause it is my favourite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
I don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just 'cause it's 'tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from

Rochelle:
Last year, ski shop
Encounter, most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Frankie:
Most of '81 passed along those lines
Rochelle:
So deck those halls, trim those trees
Raise up cup's of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year

Mollie:
Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chilled this room for twenty-four days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Vanessa:
Get this winter over with
Mollie:
Flashback to springtime, saw him again
Would've been good to go for lunch
Couldn't agree when we were both free
Vanessa:
We tried, we said we'd keep in touch

Una:
Didn't, of course, 'til summertime
Out to the beach to his boat could I join him?
No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar's just one page
And, of course, I am excited
Tonight's the night, but I've set my mind
Not to do too much about it

All:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think, I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think, I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think, I'll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
But I think, I'll miss this one this year

Frankie:
Hardly dashing through the snow
'Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute had to do's
A few cards a few calls
Because it's 'RSVP'
No thanks, no party lights
It's Christmas eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites

Una:
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called, Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn't go
Forget it, it's cold, it's getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time.

Mollie:
'A&P' has provided me
With the world's smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Frankie:
Oh damn! Guess what I forgot?
Mollie:
So on, with the boots, back out in the snow
To the only all-night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
Vanessa:
In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year

Vanessa:
'I'm spending this one alone,' he said
'Need a break, this year's been crazy'
I said, 'Me too, but why are you?
Frankie:
You mean you forgot cranberries too?'
Vanessa:
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic's brought this tale
To a very happy ending

All:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Couldn't miss this one this year
