Well… (I said I was gonna behave tonight.) (You said that last
year!) That’s not important.
We started out real civilized Everybody dressed
up nice
Someone brought a bowl of eggnog And somebody brought it twice We
said we’d have one little glass Then we’d call it a night
Twenty minutes later
Somebody’s wearing Christmas lights
(Oh no!)
Eggnog and bad decisions
That’s how Christmas Eve goes
One minute you’re sitting at the table Next you’re dancing in your
clothes
Eggnog and bad decisions
We should probably know better
But if this is how the story goes We’ll remember it forever
Cousin Mike challenged Grandpa To a race around the tree
Grandpa said, “You’re gonna lose,” Then beat him by three
Somebody put a bowtie
On the neighbor’s cat Nobody knows who did it But we’re leaving
it like that
(Leave it like that!)
And somebody’s playing piano Who never learned to play
But he’s got confidence enough
To carry us all the way
Eggnog and bad decisions
That’s how Christmas Eve goes
One minute you’re telling stories Next you’re singing through your nose
Eggnog and bad decisions We’re making memories tonight
Tomorrow we’ll deny it all But tonight we’re doing fine
Did anybody see my sweater? (No!)
Did anybody move the presents? (No!)
Who put a Santa hat on the dog?
(You did!)
Oh. (hahaha) And who said we should start a conga line?
(UNCLE RAY!) …Of course it was Uncle Ray.
The clock says two in the morning
The kitchen looks like war
There’s wrapping paper everywhere And somebody’s sleeping on the floor
The Christmas tree is leaning
But somehow still alive
And everyone is laughing Just to know that we survived
Eggnog and bad decisions That’s how Christmas Eve goes We don’t need
a perfect Christmas We just need somewhere to go Eggnog and bad
decisions Raise a glass and sing along Tomorrow we’ll clean up everything
But tonight we carry on Eggnog and bad decisions What a beautiful
mess If this is what a Christmas memory is Then I guess
we passed the test
(Eggnog!) (Bad decisions!) (Eggnog!) (Bad decisions!) (EGGNOG AND
BAD DECISIONS!) (hahaha)
Same time next year?
(ABSOLUTELY NOT!) See you next year.
