lyrics
The usual lights are on my tree
The usual stars are in the sky
You would usually be with me
On a usual Christmas night
But this year, that’s a hard no
And we’ll both be alone
Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe
I’m gonna keep my distance
Til there’s mass resistance
It’s a solo Christmas this year
I’ll stay in isolation
Til the vaccination
Makes it safe for you to be here
Don’t want a gift from Santa’s sleigh
Except for you to stay the **** away
Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe
Fa la la la la la la
Dasher Dancer Blitzen
Keep six feet betwixt them
And there’ll be no sharing hay
Rudolph’s out on furlough
You can’t see his nose glow
With a mask upon his face
The best gift from Santa’s sleigh
Is if you stay the **** away
Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe
Fa la la la la la la
There’s nothing I’d like more
Than throwing wide the door
So you could run into my arms
But there’d be too much danger
To ourselves and strangers,
So I must resist your charms
It breaks my heart to say
Please stay the **** away
Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe
Don’t wait for me beneath the mistletoe
