Nutcracker |
| Hooray it’s Christmas time |
| But there’s one lousy tradition |
| There’s a certain show that you will see |
| That is all and many would agree |
| It is time to find another show to substitute |
| For the Nutcracker |
| I’m watching the game |
| But something’s wrong |
| Staring is my wife |
| Her face looks long |
| I know that look, it must be me |
| It’s not our anniversary |
| I shrug, no clue |
| What did I do |
| She stands in disbelief (What?) |
| This holiday scene brings no laughter |
| Forced going to see The Nutcracker |
| I try to block it from my mind |
| Think fast, what reason can I find? |
| Got work to do, I’ll fake the flu |
| No chance, I’m done, I’m screwed (No!) |
| I’ve seen the Nutcracker twenty times |
| Sure it is fun if you are four (bum) |
| Don’t call me a Scrooge 'cause it’s a bore |
| The story’s dated and that Mouse King thing |
| Freaks me out (Ahh!) |
| Well, guess I’m a guy, what can I say |
| I’d rather watch football than ballet |
| I try my hardest not to groan |
| And pull the score up on my phone |
| As I complain, «It's not the same» |
| We’re rushing out the door (Go!) |
| All holiday shoppers on the road |
| My holiday spirit might explode |
| Of course, there is no place to park |
| We’re late, the theatre’s in the dark |
| In no small feat, we find a seat |
| The show’s about to start (Shh) |
| Here’s that song from Tetris |
| And I know it’s the part |
| When I fight not to fall asleep |
| March the wooden soldiers |
| Bunch of mice start a fight |
| Land of sweets, man this stuff’s trippy |
| By the way, this story makes no sense |
| Still don’t know what it means |
| After all these years |
| So confusing, feel like snoozing |
| Eyes are heavy, as I start to dream |
| Woah, I’m awake, must have fallen asleep |
| Guess I didn’t snore or make a peep |
| 'Cause my wife had no clue I’d been out cold |
| Is the finale coming up |
| 'Cause there is no beer left in my cup |
| To make it through, I’ll need another drink |
| Snuck out to the lobby |
| Oh, look, I found a TV |
| I forgot the game was happening |
| It’s down to the wire |
| Time will soon expire |
| Down by one, this kick would win it |
| (Hut, hut) The ball snapped |
| (Oh, no) The kick’s bad |
| (Wide right) No |
| (We lost) No |
| How could this night get any worse? |
| Now I’m feeling all depressed |
| But I still have to act impressed |
| A pirouette, oh wow, that’s great |
| A six-year-old could do that, too |
| Saw my team lose at the bar |
| Now dancing dudes in leotards |
| Last Nutcracker hopefully |
| But my wife’s thinking differently |
| She leans in closely, whispers softly |
| «Can't wait for you to take me next year.» |
