about

I mean what I say.

lyrics

Holiday and ’tis the season
For us to be filled with cheer
But you are bringing me down ‘cause You got me a present
I was not prepared for this
Now I’m feeling guilty
And I gotta make an excuse like “Your present’s in the mail”
Now I am the bad guy Oh the misery never ends Do not give me presents If we ain’t close friends
I’ve got lots of acquaintances And plenty coworkers too
And I’m broke and I don’t want Your present which I’ll never use
I don’t want to play Secret Santa Or even White Elephant either You pay me $10/hr and say
“$20 for the minimum gift”
If we’re forced to be together Baby, let’s not pretend
Do not give me presents
If we ain’t close friends
Oh if you’re a distant cousin
Who can buy whatever you want Unless you want macaroni this year You better just send a card
Formalities are really stupid
Feel the winds of change
I won’t get you anything back
So don’t make this an awkward exchange yeah! (So don’t make this an awkward exchange yeah!)
I’ve really got no money
And I don’t know what you like Do not give me presents
If we ain’t close friends
I said do not give me presents If we ain’t close friends
Come on band, show ‘em
Now I do just want to say
If you’re getting me a gift
Worth $10 or less
I’m offended
Because it feels like you’re implying That I couldn’t afford something Worth less than $10
If there’s something I want or need Worth less than $10
I’m just gonna get it
I don’t need your help
Now if you’re just trying to do something nice
Cool, send me a card
You may not get one back
But don’t make me feel like I need to buy something That’s all
Now here’s a recipe to help make
Some chocolate flavored Bourbon Balls Mix crushed vanilla wafers with
Cocoa, and bourbon, and lite corn syrup Then you mix in chopped pecans
Then you form them into balls
Roll ‘em ‘round in confectioners sugar And look! Baby, that is all
These are my favorite food
For the Holidays don’t you see Bourbon Balls baby for you and me That’s right!
Bourbon Balls baby for you and me
