Christmas time is coming here
And I'm running late
I had a little too much fun
And I can't see straight

Couldn't find my ticket
And I missed my train
Got back on the telephone
Tried to catch a plane

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night
Oh, yeah

Come on baby don't be mad
I know the way you feel
Stuck out on the motorway
And the weather's unreal

My ride's gone and broke down
On the interstate
Jogging to the truck stop
Gonna hitch a way

If I don't make it
We're headed for a fight
Get me back home
Before Christmas night
Oh, yeah

Christmas time is finally here
As I walk up the stairs
I open up the bedroom door
And my baby ain't there!

Went to see my neighbor
Tell me: Where did she go?
He said she waited 'round all night for you
I think she left with joe!

I'm headed for the pub
I'm getting in a fight
I don't care if it's
Christmas night
Oh, yeah
