Lyrics House of Broken Gingerbread - The Monkees

House of Broken Gingerbread

Fa la-la, fa-la la-la la
Fa la-la, fa-la la-la la
Two mountains of presents
Two glittering trees
Both frosted in tinsel
And blue LEDs
Two platters of cookies
And peppermint bark
Two baby messiahs
Aglow in the dark
Two decks of UNO
And two sets of Clue
There’s double the Christmas
But I’m torn in two
In the house of broken gingerbread
Butterscotch and candy cigarettes
Sugar snow on the flowerbed
At the house of (House of)
Broken gingerbread
Fa la-la, fa-la la-la la
Oh, yeah
Fa la-la, fa-la la-la la
And there they go sledding
Here there’s a pool
The boyfriend’s a dentist
The step-mom is cool
Dad gave me a brother
Mom promised a dog
And one of those French cakes
Disguised as a log
Two-hearted Christmas
Half-hearted day
St. Nick and the wise men
Got lost on the way
To the house of broken gingerbread
Butterscotch and candy cigarettes
Sugar snow on the flowerbed
At the house of (House of)
Broken gingerbread
Mistletoe is hanging by a thread
And the mystic toys just shake their heads
Stockings hung up and full of dread
At the house of (House of)
Broken gingerbread
