Set the Santa Candle out, my dear

On the toilet, where we put him every year

He shrank to half his height

In the heat that summertime

Now he s shorter and he s fatter

Like some sort of Buddha Santa

Make those Tom and Jerry s extra sweet

I ll go and get the artificial tree

And those boxes downstairs

Of Christmases we ve shared

We ll play Bing Crosby and unpack

All the days of love we ve had and

Hang the years like ornaments

On the tree and say

Would you marry me again?

Please say yes

That would really make my Christmas day

The electric snowflakes really have six sides

Because I brought back that one with only five

Set out the plates that say noel

Plug in the mice that play the bells

And Christmas cookies sure sound great

Honey let s start gaining weight

Let s watch the old home movies and old slides

And wonder at the way the time goes by

Sing Jingle Bells once more

And dance around the floor

We ll raise our matching Santa glasses

To the days of love we ve had, and
