Family Christmas

*Verse 1* There's tinsel in the trash can And eggnog on the floor The cat knocked down the Christmas tree For the fifth time or more My uncle's wearing reindeer ears And dancing with the broom While Grandma's doing karaoke In the living room *Chorus* Merry Christmas, you filthy animal And a Happy New Year! The house is pure pandemonium But I'm glad that you're all here Merry Christmas, you filthy animal Wouldn't have it any other way 'Cause chaos with the ones you love Makes the perfect holiday *Verse 2* The fruitcake's hard as concrete The turkey's slightly burned The kids are on a sugar rush From lessons never learned Dad's telling awful dad jokes Mom's pretending not to hear While cousin Eddie's stuck again In last year's Christmas gear *Chorus* Merry Christmas, you filthy animal And a Happy New Year! The house is pure pandemonium But I'm glad that you're all here Merry Christmas, you filthy animal Wouldn't have it any other way 'Cause chaos with the ones you love Makes the perfect holiday *Bridge* We're dysfunctional but loving We're a mess but we're alive And when we're all together Somehow everything's alright *Final Chorus* Merry Christmas, you filthy animal And a Happy New Year! Our holiday's ridiculous But that's why it's so dear Merry Christmas, you filthy animal Chaos reigning wild and free 'Cause nothing says "I love you" Like our crazy family
