(Steven Page/Ed Robertson)
from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" soundtrack
The streets are filled with Christmas cheer
At least it's only once a year
Perfect parcels tied with perfect bows,
And carols ringing in my ear
Bundled up against the cold
Lines wherever gifts are sold
Each shop window displays a Christmas scene
For everybody young and old
Icicles on eavestroughs and tinsel on the tree,
But it's a green Christmas for me
Couples skating on the pond [couples skating the pond]
Making angels on the lawn [makin' angels on the lawn]
Five red mittens drying on the rad
And needles shedding tannenbaum
Red bows on the railings and snowflakes on the ground,
But it's a green Christmas in this town
Green, cause of everything I miss
All this mistletoe, no kiss
And with every Christmas wish
There would be no greater gift
Than to have this envy lift
Carolers are at my door [Fa la la la etc..]
Don't wanna hear them anymore
Stockings on the mantle
The snow's here everyday
But it's a green Christmas anyway
Red nose on the reindeer and tinsel on the tree
