lyrics

It’s November 23
I can’t deal with all these crowds
So when I open up my mail
I’m hoping for some time to settle down

But then staring back at me
Is a family of three
Perfect smiles and a snowy mountain
Golden lights strewn across the roofline

So send me your Christmas card
And I promise I’ll file it away
Underneath the pile of the things
I left on my shelf this week

Send me a bicycle
And I’ll know you’ve learned your lesson
Cause these glossy 8x10s don’t mean a thing
If you don’t send a present too

I don’t think I’ve ever read a line!
With so many exclamation points!
Your son’s going off to college!
And your daughter made state again this year!

I CAN SEE THAT CAPS LOCK IS YOUR FRIEND
But do you really need to share
How your wife got a new Mercedes
And your husband’s in a mid life crisis

And I can’t imagine
How many times you struck that pose
Before your picture came out well

Reading this Comic Sans
Is killing my brain cells

And I really do care
But can’t you call my phone?

So send me your Christmas card
And I will file it away
Underneath the pile of the things
I left on my shelf this week

Send me some Lincoln Logs
So I’ll know you got the message
So many of the things I’ve wanted
Will you supply them? So I can have them?

Believe it or not
I really want to see you this year
So pack up your car today
And bring your family to my place

We’ll share some cold egg nog
And you can build with my Lincoln Logs
And tell me how your life has changed
Just give me more than your
Snapshot page
