PEACE ON EARTH GOODWILL TO ALL
On the first day of the madness I took my little car And got stuck in the traffic by the mall.
On the second day of the madness I found a little dent From the traffic I got stuck in by the mall.
On the third day of the madness I paid the little bill From the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the fourth day of the madness I spent the money I had left From the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the fifth day of the madness I wrapped the boxes that I bought With the money I had left From the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the sixth day of the madness I looked on with despair The pile of boxes that I wrapped From the money that I spent Left from bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the seventh day of the madness I downed a bottle Jameson To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the eighth day of the madness I woke up feeling bad From the bottle that I drank To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the ninth day of the madness I missed a day of work From the bottle that I drank To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the tenth day of the madness My boss was really mad That I missed a day of work From the bottle that I drank To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the eleventh day of the madness I baked cookies, pies, and cakes For the boss who was mad That I missed a day at work From the bottle that I drank To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the twelfth day of the madness I gained a bunch of weight From the cookies, pies, and cakes I didn’t give my boss who was mad That I missed a day at work From the bottle that I drank To drown my despair Over the boxes that I wrapped With the money that I spent Left from the bill that I paid, for the dent from the traffic by the mall.
On the day after New Years I took the boxes back And used the money that I got To buy some time at the gym To lose the weight that I gained Eating cookies, pies, and cakes That I made for the boss that I hate To suck up for the day that I missed Hung-over from the bottle that I drank Feeling bad for what I spent After paying for the dent From some asshole who hit me by the mall.
