"Bah, humbug" no, that's too strong
'Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year's been a busy blur
Don't think I have the energy

    Brilliantly funny, and so very true about all that headache-inducing December rush and how people just keep passing like ships in the night until the Fellow Upstairs (with the twisted sense of humor) decides otherwise.

    Great Christmas song, this is the first band I went to see in concert and the fun part was hopping the fence to get in.
