Christmas is not all it's cracked up to be Families fighting all under plastic trees Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see And it's hardly ever snowing the way it's meant to be Black and white Christmas, yadda yadda Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby Are you listening to me? Time's a-rockin' slow at Christmas the way it's meant to be I'll still have a ball at Christmas because I'll be with you The Christmas message was long ago lost Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost It's meant to be a whale as well as synthetic fun And what is this year's question? Number one Time's a-rockin' slow at Christmas the way it's meant to be I'll still have a ball at Christmas because I'll be with you Time's a-rockin' slow at Christmas the way it's meant to be I'll still have a ball at Christmas because I'll be with you Time's a-rockin' slow at Christmas the way it's meant to be I'll still have a ball at Christmas because I'll be with you Time's a-rockin' slow at Christmas the way it's meant to be I'll still have a ball at Christmas because I'll be with you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
