It’s that time of year
When i sit getting sick of all the cheer
Every song you hear
Was a hit or a miss
From last century
Is it just me
‘cos it never much seems like the movie
(like the movie)

So thank god (thank god)
Christmas comes once a year
(only comes once a year)
Just once a year
(just once a year)

Only bells i hear
Is last call, one and all
Crying in their beer
‘cos it’s gon’ take all year
For the debts to be met
So raise a glass for christmas cheer
It never snows
Only rains i don’t know
Why we still dreaming of a white
Christmas

Thank god it only comes once a year
(thank god
Only comes once a year
Only comes once a year)
Thank god it only comes once a year

Oooh
Mama’s in the kitchen
She’s stressing “oh no”
The oven ain’t workin’
Nothing’s cooking “oh no”
Brother and sister fighting, she’s crying
Dusty knocks the tree down
It makes me wanna shout
“hallelujah”

Thank god that christmas only comes once a year
Only comes once a year
Thank you jesus,
For being born only once
I couldn’t deal with it
So christmas only comes once a year,
Thank god
Hallelujah for christmas
Only lasts 24 hours of my life
I tell you jesus
Just get born once
As a baby anyway
