Lyrics
All the shoveling, and hustling, and bustling
Describing the busy and bustling activities.
And everyone will keep each other company
People will keep each other company during these activities.
And all these feelings
Referring to various emotions.
All these signs
Referring to various indications or signals.
Will tell you that it'd soon be time to dust off your holiday cheer
Indicating signs that suggest the approach of the holiday season.
Cuz it's that time of the year
Recognizing that it's the time of year associated with the holidays.
It's winter time again and I hate the cold
Expressing dislike for the cold weather in winter.
So I'll build a fire in the fireplace
Planning to create warmth by lighting a fire in the fireplace.
With wood that some guy sold on the side of the road
Using wood purchased from someone selling it by the roadside.
Pour a glass of hard cider and hope
Pouring and enjoying a glass of hard cider.
My lungs won't hate me for having a smoke
Concern about the impact of smoking on lungs.
But my mama will
Awareness of disapproval from the speaker's mother.
So I guess I won't
Deciding not to smoke due to the mother's disapproval.
It's that time we do things we never do on any other day of the year
Noting the unique activities done specifically during the holiday season.
You can call me a Grinch or a Scrooge but I just don't think it's fair
Expressing a lack of agreement with the festivities and labeling.
How all this Christmas, forgive-mas, what's-on-your-wishlist joy just fills the air
Observing the pervasive nature of holiday-related joy in the atmosphere.
Why can't we be like this on every other day
Questioning why the holiday spirit isn't present throughout the year.
Every other day of the year
Highlighting the desire for consistent holiday-like spirit year-round.
Every other day of the year
Reiterating the wish for a continuous holiday spirit beyond specific days.
It's that time we do things we never do on any other day of the year
Noting the uniqueness of holiday-specific activities.
You can call me a Grinch or a Scrooge but I just don't think it's fair
Reasserting disagreement with the festive season and its labels.
How all this Christmas, forgive-mas, what's-on-your-wishlist joy just fills the air
Observing the pervasive nature of holiday-related joy in the atmosphere.
Why can't we be like this on every other day
Raising the question of why the holiday spirit isn't consistent.
Every other day of the year
Reiterating the desire for continual holiday-like spirit.
Christmas, forgive-mas, what's-on-your-wishlist joy just fills the air
Noting the pervasive joy associated with Christmas and related activities.
Why can't we be like this on every other day
Questioning the absence of consistent holiday-like spirit.
Every other day of the year
Reiterating the wish for a continuous holiday spirit beyond specific days.
