Saint Nick fell down the chimney right on cue
With a big ole' bag of gifts for me and you
I was cryin' by the Christmas tree with a bottle of Petrone
This ain't no time of year to be alone

He said, “You look like hell, boy where's your better half?”
I said, “She's gone and I don't think she's comin' back”
Did she have some last minute shoppin' just could not be postponed?
This ain't no time of year to be alone

Well, I got just one wish on my Christmas list
Oh baby, how I wish
You were here

I want chestnuts roastin', good friends toastin'
Health and happiness
But it won't mean a thing without you dear

He said, “Christmas without love and tenderness”
Well, that's just a hollow holiday at best
Son, it takes two to tango underneath that mistletoe
This ain't no time of year to be alone, ah c'mon

Oh, I got just one wish
On my Christmas list
I'd give anything to have you here with me

I want yule logs, reindeer, egg nogg, good cheer
Five golden rings
Not Kris Kringle's singles therapy

So me and old Saint Nick kicked back a few
And we both agreed, he ain't no subs***ute for you
And I heard him say as he pulled his sleigh back out into the cold
This ain't no time of year to be alone, ohh
This ain't no time of year to be alone
