No Christmas
C F
There's no tree in our front hallway Dm G There's no wreath upon our door C F And underneath the absent tree Dm G There are no presents on the floor F G There's no animated reindeer C Am Cavorting on our lawn F G No choreographed light show F C Going on from dusk to dawn Am Em Daddy says that there will be no Christmas Am Em Daddy says it's going to be that way Dm Am Daddy says we'll go about our business Dm G/C While other children open gifts and play You'll find no knitted stockings On our mantel Christmas Eve We're not expecting Santa So no cookies we will leave We won't be listening for The pitter pat of reindeer's hoof We're not expecting Santa's sleigh To land upon our roof Daddy says that there will be no Christmas Daddy says its just another day Daddy says we may get Chinese take-out And maybe catch a half-price matinee The eggs in our egg basket Will never become nog We won't eat Christmas Pudding We won't burn a Yule log Oh, Daddy dear, Is this because Your job you fear to lose? No, my child it is because We are observant Jews |
