Well there's a twenty pound turkey in the oven
And there's a big old log upon the fire
Mama's a-runnin' 'round in her new frilly gown
Daddy's dressed in Santa Claus attire

All the kids hang stockings near the chimney
And in the livin' room there stands an old Spruce tree
What causes this family's strange behavior
I guess it's just that time of year you see

We all get crazy at Christmas
Gather around and sing those yuletide songs
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long

Well it's enough to make old Scrooge say Season Greetings
And it's enough to make the rich folks help the poor
Charity abounds when that feelin' comes around
Why don't it come around some more

Cause we all get crazy at Christmas
Gather around and sing those yuletide songs
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long

I want to thank Baby Jesus
Born in a manger long ago
Cause on His birthday wars stop fighting for awhile
And it's the closest thing we have to peace on earth
Yes we all get crazy at Christmas
Gather around and sing those yuletide songs
Yeah we all get crazy at Christmas
Lord I wish we could stay crazy all year long

Why can't we stay crazy all year long
