I hope you had a very very merry
And that your season's wishes came true
But mine were all quite the contrary
For I received a gift of the blues

I travel miles and miles to see my baby
All this way just to share his charms
Travel miles and miles to find my baby
Wrapped up so neatly in someone else's arms

I hope you had a cool and a frantic
Reluctant resolutions were few
But there are those of us near panic
We're the ones who got a gift of the blues

I travel miles and miles to find my baby
All this way just to share his charms
Travel miles and miles to find my baby
Wrapped up so neatly in someone else's arms

I hope you had a very, very merry
And that your season's wishes came true
But mine were all quite the contrary
For I received a gift of the blues
