Santa Claus is coming, Christmas is here
My wife just called and said the family is near
Oh my God it gets earlier each year
The fascination has got me again
Too much to buy, not enough to spend
But old man plastic, he always has some money to lend

Before I go shoppin' expeditiously
I'm gonna take a little time for me

God rest ye merry gentlemen
I'll sit at this bar with my good friends
And we'll all toast Christmas cheer
With cold beer

When I get home there'll be uncle Joe
With his fourth wife Mary, a-ho-ho-ho
She always tries to kiss me underneath the mistletoe
And cousin Perry with the sprayed-on tan
He wants to marry his life partner Sam
A-no-no-no, you can't do that Alabama

Can't you see I need a little more time
I got to change my frame of mind

I need some peace on earth, goodwill t'ward men
I love this bar and all my friends
Let's spread some Christmas cheer
With cold beer
You better not shout, you better not cry
If you drink too much you better not drive
We'll start our Christmas ride here
Yeah we'll spread some Christmas cheer
And we'll toast to the new year
With cold beer
With cold beer
Yeah with cold beer
