I Hate Christmas — текст песни (Sesame Street)

I can`t think of anything that`s dumber
To a grouch, Christmas is a bummer!

Beaming faces everywhere, happiness is in the air
I`m telling you, it isn`t fair!
I hate Christmas!

People loaded with good will, giving presents, what a thrill
That slushy nonsense makes me ill
I hate Christmas!

I`d rather have a holiday like normal grouches do
Instead of getting presents, they take presents back from you
Heh heh

Here comes Santa, girls and boys
So, who needs that big red noise!
I`ll tell him where to put his toys
I hate Christmas!

(spoken): And if you want the truth, I ain`t so crazy about Thanksgiving or Labor Day either!

Christmas carols to be sung, decorations to be hung
Oh, yeah? Well, I stick out my tongue!
I hate Christmas!

Christmas bells play loud and strong
Hurts my ears, all that ding dong
Besides it goes on much too long
I hate Christmas!

I`d rather have a holiday with a lot less joy and flash
With a lot less cheerful smiling, and a lot more dirty trash, yeah!

Christmas Day is almost here
When it`s over, then I cheer
I`m glad it`s only once a year
I hate Christmas!
