Christmas Ball Blues - Leon Redbone

Christmas comes but once a year

And to me it brings good cheer

And to everyone who likes wine and beer

Happy new year is after that

Happy I’ll be that is a fact

That’s why I like to hear

Folks who say that «Christmas is here»

Christmas bells will ring real soon

Even in the afternoon

There’ll be no chime bells ringin'

At the Christmas ball

Everyone must watch their step

Or they will lose their rep'

Everybody’s full of pep

At the Christmas ball

Grab your partner one and all

Keep on dancin' 'round the hall

If there’s no one to call

Don’t you dare do stall

If your partner don’t act fair

Don’t worry there’s someone there

Takin' a chance everywhere

At the Christmas ball
