It's in the air
Can't you hear it?
It's everywhere
That Christmas spirit
Everybody runnin' around all over town
Buyin' out any shop around
Get yourself in line, buy a big ball of twine
Anything you can get your hands on
Don't care what you give, just gotta get a gift
Don't know what you're givin' it for
The only thing that counts is the brand and amount
And that it comes from an expensive store
It's in the air
Can't you hear it?
It's everywhere
That Christmas spirit
Rush home with a tree, half withered, half green
And strangle it to death with tinsel
Pay a dollar 98 for a ten cent wreath
Hangin' on your door to make it look useful
Ma's in the kitchen makin' apple pies
Feedin' the relatives with all their lies and their welcome
It's in the air
Can't you hear it
It's everywhere
That Christmas spirit
Gonna take the children down to see the fat clown
Who pretends to be what he ain't
He's a dime store commercialized manufactured product
Directly descended from a saint
You set 'em on his knee and teach 'em to bleed
All your last year's savings
It's that time of year, so fill it with cheer and satisfy all that cravings
It's in the air
Can't you hear it?
It's everywhere
That Christmas spirit
When the big day arrives in a mansion and dive
Everyone is havin' a fiasco
It only comes once a year, splendid cheer
Most of that cheer comes from a bottle
Now I sat on a street I asked him first then I meet
Who's birthday you think it is today
He stopped dead, scratched his head and puzzled, then he said
"I'm not sure, but I think it's one of our presidents
Ain't it?"
It's in the air
Can't you hear it?
It's everywhere
That Christmas spirit
Christmas spirit
It's in the air
I can smell it
Can't you hear it?
