Fuck Christmas, I Got The Blues
Yuletide Melancholy: A Bluesy Reflection on December
Lyrics
Yeah, 25th of December, 1971
Reflecting on December 25, 1971.
Got me some homemade beautiful shoes
Received homemade shoes.
Eleven years later baby, 1982
Jumping forward to 1982, now eleven years old.
I was twelve years old and still I had the blues
Despite being twelve, still experiencing the blues.
2003 baby, and now I'm twenty-three
Fast-forward to 2003, now at the age of twenty-three.
I'm expecting some good jazz baby, hanging on that tree
Expecting good jazz, metaphorically hanging on a tree.
Fuck Christmas baby, yeah I got the blues
Expressing discontent with Christmas and the blues.
Fuck Christmas baby, yeah I got the blues
-I said fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-Yeah, put that tree on the red light, juliet
Symbolic reference to a tree on red light, possibly indicating a conflicted or troubled Christmas.
Fucking Romeo won't be back for supper
Romeo's absence disrupts the Christmas meal.
Yeah, I'm altered Mickey Mouse on milk and honey
Metaphorical portrayal of altered Mickey Mouse on indulgence.
Playing the blues with Paul James Barry, I say
Playing the blues with Paul James Barry, emphasizing the blues theme.
Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
Reiteration of discontent with Christmas and the blues.
Yeah, fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-I said fuck Christmas baby, yeah I got the blues
-Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-Take it away, children!
Inviting children to participate in the musical expression.
Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues (that's right)
Continued expression of dissatisfaction with Christmas and having the blues.
Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues (yeah, you got the blues)
-Fuck Christmas baby, I got the blues
-Yeah, fuck Christmas baby
Final affirmation of having the blues during Christmas.
I got the blues!
