Lonely Christmas Eve

I'm not so bad...
I just hate to see a good time had
By everyone but me
On this lonely Christmas Eve
I hear them up and down
and up and down the street
They're making noise, noise, noise
How I hate their happy noise
There's only one thing I hate more
Come to think of it
And that's the people who keep making it
Feast, feast, feast, feast
They'll have more than anyone could ever eat
Me I'm stuck here with my Cream of Wheat
There's no one here to feast with me
On this lonely Christmas Eve
Don't they know I'm up here all alone
In my cave up in the hills
How I wish that this would go away
This dreadful holiday
That they call Christmas Day
When they're done with all their Christmas noise
And they've had their Christmas feast
Just when I think that I might finally get a moment's peace
They start to...
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Now I'll never get to sleep
I'm screaming out the window
But it doesn't do any good
They sing and sing and sing all through the neighborhood
Sing, sing, sing, sing
They take their little break
And then they do it all again
It's a lonely Christmas Eve
