Lyrics

DOWN WITH XMAS
By Those Dreaded Gnats

(Down with Christmas, Down with Christmas)*

Getting too commercialized, stupid gifts like sox and ties*
Putting on all kinds of weight, eating nuts and fruit cake*
Smiling at the relatives, smacking all their bratty kids*
Dealing with obnoxious clerks, while pushy shoppers act like jerks*

Down, Down, Down, Down

Cooking, cleaning, wrapping gifts, feels like I work a second shift*
The pressure mounts on what to buy, expensive things, I want to cry*
Department storeÂ?s Santa Claus, Ho-ho-hoing my lost cause*
They put their Displays out too soon, seems like Christmas starts in June*

They move their carts all through the aisles
The prissy girl says Â?thatÂ?s not my styleÂ?
The tried on rejects lay on the floor
With an armload of gifts she checks out of the storeÂ?

Down, Down, Down, Down

Depression now starts setting in, give me that gift wrapped bottle of gin*
The streets become roads of rage, put those drivers in a cage*
Outside my neighborÂ?s blinking lights, blinding me with elves in tights*
CanÂ?t wait to get them up they say, then they donÂ?t take them down till May*
Who am I to protest you, and criticize the things you do?
Well I point out these flaws, because my name is Santa Claus...Ho Ho Ho...

Down, Down, Down, Down

Â?bah humbugÂ?youÂ?re gonna get coal in your stockingÂ?bah humbug
