Merry Christmas I guess...

Merry Christmas
I hope you have a fine one, but for me it's blue
Blue Christmas
That's the way you see it when you're feeling blue
Blue Xmas
When you're blue at Christmastime, you see right through
All the waste, all the sham, all the haste and plain old bad taste
Sidewalk Santy Clauses are much, much, much too thin
They're wearing fancy rented costumes
False beards and big fat phony grins
And nearly everybody's standing around
Holding out their empty hand or tin cup
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Fill my stocking up, all the way up
It's a time when the greedy give a dime to the needy
Blue Christmas
All the favor is a bit of fal-de-ral
Blue Xmas
People trading gifts that matter not at all
What I call fal-de-ral, bitter gall
Fal-de-ral
Lots of hungry, homeless children in your own backyards
While you're very, very busy addressing 20 zillion Christmas cards
Now Yuletide is the season to receive
And, oh, to give and ah, to share
But all you December do-gooders rush
Around and rant and rave and loudly blare
Merry Christmas
I hope yours is a fine one, but for me it's blue
