Christmas Blues

I got the Christmas Blues-
I feel ‘em way down in my shoes
I got the Christmas Blues-
I feel ‘em way down in my shoes
Both my credit cards are maxed out
I can’t even pay my dues

Santa Claus, Santa Claus- He ain’t comin’ to my house
Santa Claus, Santa Claus- He ain’t comin’ to my house
Not a creature is stirring there
Not even a mouse

Because my good woman left me
She walked out just yesterday
My good woman left me
She walked out yesterday

When she got up and left me
It just stole my heart away
She said, “Howard, Howard
There’s all these bills we have to pay.”
She said, “Howard, Howard
There’s all these bills we have to pay
Why don’t you get yourself a real job
Instead of sitting around playing that harp all day?”

And I yelled and I screamed (da dum da da dum)
And I cursed and I moaned (da dum da da dum)
The next thing that I knew
My woman had left our happy home
I’ve got the Christmas Blues
I feel ‘em way down in my shoes
So I’ll just keep blowin’ that harp, babe
‘Cause I’ve got nothing left to lose...
