Ba da doo, ba da doo
Ba da doo, ba da doo
Ba da doo, ba da da
Ba da doo
It was Christmas seven hours ago
I step outside into the melting snow
Anywhere you go,
The radio ain't fa-la-la-la-ing quite the same
And now Christmas Eve is
363 days away from me
And the countdown til the electric bill
And the new year's a week away
When these blues start hitting me
Oh, I gotta sing that even though
There's no more presents under the tree
The frosted ground is turning green
Well, I've got faith and love and family
And that's all the gifts I really need
And though winter's turning to spring
I'm praying this thought's gonna stick with me
"Life is still as good as it gets
On December 26th"
Ba da doo, ba da doo
Ba da doo, ba da doo
Ba da doo, ba da da
Ba da doo
Now I'm asking "how long can we wait
To box up the fake evergreen?"
But even the peppermint in my mocha is
Slipping as I'm sipping away
And all the candle light
Burned out and now we're missing silent night
Yeah, when life goes back to the way it was
When all the hurry and all the rush
And these blues start hitting me
Oh, I gotta sing that even though
There's no more presents under the tree
The frosted ground is turning green
Well, I've got faith and love and family
And that's all the gifts I really need
And though winter's turning to spring
I'm praying this thought's gonna stick with me
"Life is still as good as it gets"
It was Christmas seven hours ago
I step outside into the melting snow
Life is still as good as it gets
On December 26th
