Set the Santa Candle out, my dear
On the toilet, where we put him every year
He shrank to half his height
In the heat that summertime
Now he’s shorter and he’s fatter
Like some sort of Buddha Santa

Make those Tom and Jerry’s extra sweet
I’ll go and get the artificial tree
And those boxes downstairs
Of Christmases we’ve shared
We’ll play Bing Crosby and unpack
All the days of love we’ve had and

Hang the years like ornaments
On the tree and say
Would you marry me again?
Please say yes
That would really make my Christmas day


The electric snowflakes really have six sides
Because I brought back that one with only five
Set out the plates that say noel
Plug in the mice that play the bells
And Christmas cookies sure sound great
Honey let’s start gaining weight

Let’s watch the old home movies and old slides
And wonder at the way the time goes by
Sing Jingle Bells once more
And dance around the floor
We’ll raise our matching Santa glasses
To the days of love we’ve had, and

Hang the years like ornaments
On the tree and say
Would you marry me again?
Please say yes
That would really make my Christmas day
