Christmas of Want [Adolescent Lament]
Dwight Evan Young/Vince Rostkowski
Once again it’s Christmas time!
Everybody stand in line!
Malls are open, Gifts on sale,
Happiness to find!
Schools are closed in every town.
Everybody’s happy now!
Dinner with your family and
Snow upon the ground.
Christmas morning bright and vivid,
If I don’t get my shit I’ll be livid.
[CHORUS]
Christmas time is finally here,
Give a cheer, the family’s near!
Smiles stretch from ear to ear
For presents I’ve waited for all year!
Power Rangers, Super Soakers,
Ninja Turtles, Gameboy Color,
Captain Planet, Mighty Max, and
Hungry Hungry Hippos, and some Gak!
Creepy Crawlers, Laser Pointers,
Digimon, and Tamagotchi,
Pokemon, and Stretch Armstrong, and
Don’t forget a Talkboy, and a bike!
GI Joes, Nintendo, Playstation, Legos and Beenie Babies!
Star Wars, Batman, Crossfire,
An Ian Malcolm Action Figure!
Bop it, Skip it, give it to me I gotta have it!
Don’t disappoint me again…
[CHORUS]
Give me presents, I’ve been good all year for Santa.
[CHORUS]
Christmas time is finally here,
Give a cheer, the family’s near.
Smiles tend to disappear,
For presents I’ve waited for all year.
