There's nothing new to write about,
Nothing more to say
It's all been said in other tunes
When it comes to Christmas Day
From "harken" angels to Rudolph's nose,
The list goes on and on
So I'll just use old references
For my old new Christmas song
New old Christmas song
My new old Christmas song
It's a new title, 'cuz I've recycled
The stuff I've based it on
New old Christmas song
My new old Christmas song
It may be trite, but it's merry and bright
Here's trees, and snow, and a Silent Night
You've heard it before, but it helps me write
My new old Christmas song
My song's got toys, it's got your bells
It's got your blah blah blah
Here's your Santa, and here's your elves
Here's your "deck the hall"
I'll throw in sugarplums, a pie or two,
I'll toss the yule-log on,
'Cuz these old chestnuts are just the thing
For my old new Christmas song
chorus
Do "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" put you in
An agitated mood?
And does hearing songs about holiday treats
Make you sick from all that food?
If it's "Joy To The World" you can take or leave,
And the Drummer Boy makes you yawn,
I'll spruce 'em up like I'm trimmin' a tree
For my new old Christmas song
