Christmas Wrapping (with Iggy Pop)

Christmas Wrapping - Kylie Minogue/Iggy Pop

Written by：Chris Butler

Bah humbug no that's too strong

Cause it's my favourite holiday

But all this years been a busy blur

Don't think I have the energy

To add to my already mad rush

Just cause this the season

The perfect gift for me would be

Completions and connections left

From last year ski shopping counter most interesting

Had his number but never the time

Most of 81 past along those lines

So deck those halls and trim those trees

Raise up cups of christmas cheer

I just need to catch my breath

Christmas by myself this year

Calendar picture frozen landscape

Chill this room for twenty-four days

Evergreens sparkling snow get this winter over with

Flash back to spring time sun again why

Would have been good to go for lunch

Couldn't agree when we were both free

We tried we said we'd keep in touch

Didn't of course till summer time

Out to the beach to his boat could have joined him

No this time it was me sunburn in the third degree

Now the calendars just one page

Of course I am excited

Tonights the night but I've set my mind

Not to do too much about it

Christmas is over

Oh no you don't

Merry christmas merry christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

But I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow

Cause I bundled up too tight

Last minute have-to-do's

A few cards a few calls

Cause it's r-s-v-p

No thanks no party lights

It's christmas eve gonna relax

Turned down all of my invites

Last fall I had a night to myself

Same guy called halloween party

Waited all night for him to show

This time his car wouldn't go I'm sorry

Forget it it's cold it's getting late

Trudge on home to celebrate

In a quiet way unwind

Doing christmas right this time

A&p has provided me with the world's smallest turkey

All ready in the oven nice and hot

Oh damn guess what I forgot

So on with the boots back out in the snow

To the only all night grocery

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

In the line is that guy I've been chasing all year

Spending this one alone he said

Need a break this years been crazy

I said me to but why are you

You mean you forgot the papers too

Then suddenly we laughed and laughed

Caught on to what was happening

Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy ending

Merry christmas merry christmas

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year

Merry christmas merry christmas

I can miss this one this year
