I was going to wish you a
merry Christmas
Just hop along and deal me a
nice, fat breakfast.
That was before I spotted the
empty plate and dirty cutlery
Why not come on in and bite a
big chunk out of something?
Really, I was about to tell
you ‘merry Christmas’
And then hit the warm covers
and embrace sweet siesta.
But I couldn’t ignore the
thin spread of newspaper on the curbs.
You wanna come in and find a
decent spot to lay your head, blood?
I was going to holla compliments
of the season,
Then dash out and throw a
party with the team.
But that was all before I realized
you needed companionship.
So now, you and me we gon’ party
like there’s nothing left to give.
I could tell you all the
stuff I was going to say
But it’s high time somebody
done turned the page.
Time to quit reading the
script and do the act;
Spoil people with kindness.
Spare the Christmas cards.
