I'm usually grumpy
But just ignore me
I'm rarely friendly
But then comes Christmas Day
You'll like me on Christmas Day
I don't talk to neighbors
Goes against my nature
Don't ask for a favor
Except on Christmas Day
But only on Christmas Day
Other days don't be knocking
Don't stop by - keep walking
I'm the mean guy on the block
Keep your leaves off my lot
Kids keep off my grass
Except on Christmas Day
I got no how-do-you-do's
No please or thank you's
I'd rather argue
But not on Christmas Day
I got manners on Christmas Day
I don't care to get together
With folks that would rather
Have parties - play games
Truth or Dare or Charades
I don't like to sing songs
Except on Christmas Day
Fa la-la
Fa-da-la Fa-da-la la la
Fa la-la la la
I got a new ambition
To broaden my horizons
I'll pick another day
Maybe Christmas Eve
You'll like me on Christmas Eve
You'll see I won't be grouchy
I'll be a lot more friendly
You won't believe your eyes
I'll be a different guy
You'll catch me dancing
But only on Christmas Day
I'm foolish on Christmas Day
And maybe on New Year's Eve
We'll see
Fa la-la
Fa-da-la Fa-da-la la la
Fa la-la la la Fa la-la la la
