[Intro (Spoken)] Tinsel can wait — I’ve got a rule to keep, No carols before the calendar turns deep. [Verse 1] Every store’s got tinsel in September, Trees in aisles like springtime pretenders. I like my carols crisp with frosty breath— Not tangled lights that skip straight past the rest. [Chorus] Christmas starts in December, not October, Hold the bells; leave October sober. Keep your premature glitter and cheer— I’ll deck the halls when the cold is here. [Verse 2] Radio’s looping sleighs before the leaves fall, Merry jingles on display in every mall. My favorite songs are being rushed out of line— Save the carols for the month that feels like pine. [Chorus] Christmas starts in December, not October, Hold the bells; leave October sober. Keep your premature glitter and cheer— I’ll deck the halls when the cold is here. [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] If you string up lights in August, I’ll sigh, If santas shop in spring, I’ll wave them goodbye. One firm rule carved in frosted ember: No mistletoe until the nights remember. [Final Chorus] Christmas starts in December, loud and slow, Not with early sparkle or premature snow. So wait your turn, let the calendar score— I’ll jingle properly when December’s at my door.
