on christmas i got nothing - chuck brodsky lyrics

Loading...

my family never roasted chestnuts – on an open fire
never went around the neighborhood - singing carols with a choir
never went to midnight m-ss & sat on cold hard pews
my family – we had different views

i never had to be good – just for goodness sake
on christmas eve i didn’t try to keep myself awake
listening for sleigh bells – or looking for a mouse
santa always skipped over our house

jimmy got a train set with a shiny new caboose
billy, an erector set, with nuts & bolts & screws
tammy got a kit for making cheese fondues
but on christmas i got nothing – ‘cause we were jews

we never put up trimmings ‘cause we never had a tree
i wouldn’t know a mistletoe from a torpedo’s knee
i never sat on santa’s lap – but hey, if jesus was a jew…
wouldn’t that make santa be one too?

i used to hate when it was cold enough for christmas to be white
never hung a wreath of holly – or strung the yard with lights
those other houses looked so pretty – but the electricity they must’ve used!
we lit candles – ‘cause we were jews

annie got a bright red pair of kangaroo shoes
kathy got some soaps & an -ssortment of shampoos
even buffy’s dingo got some brand new rawhide chews
but on christmas i got nothing – ‘cause we were jews

sometimes we ate chicken – and sometimes we ate lamb
sometimes we ate turkey – but we never had a ham
i never did like eggnog – or those wine & cider brews
we drank mogen david – ‘cause we were jews

jenny got a bike she had to wait ‘till spring to use
tommy from across the street – he got his front tooth
joshua got a h-rn so he could learn to play the blues
but i already had some…
