lyrics

VERSE 1:
Christmas Is Overrated
Only to those in the jaded, crowd
We’ll remind them what its all about
Get them to sing, sing out loud

CHORUS: (2x)
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
On top of that, best wishes
In the brand new year
Times Square be prepared
Get ready ‘cause the confetti
Gonna be so heavy it will open every

Yeah, and that’s just the start

VERSE 2:
Its okay to be jolly
Cultivate your melancholy
At some other party
‘Cause its Christmas time
Put on your best threads and shine
Up your shoes, turn off your 24 hour news
Silence your phones, decorate your homes
Inside and out, while you shout

CHORUS:
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas
On top of that, best wishes
In the brand new year
Times Square be prepared
Get ready ‘cause the confetti
Gonna be so heavy it will open every
Single cynical heart
Yeah, and that’s just the start
