Sure, I like to be festive at Christmas time,
But I don't think that everybody knows-
Just how much money is spent on holiday decorations,
And all those elaborate light shows-
Every year we hang them up,
With their colors twinkling pretty and bright-
We ride though neighborhoods with the family and the dog,
To see them.
It's a Kodak moment, a wonderful sight-
There are contests and prizes for the best arrangements.
Who's the winner on your block?
Utility companies sit with calculators in hand.
Meters running around the clock-
I aint mad at 'em you know?
I enjoy the excitement of a heart warming thrill-
It's all good as long as those lights are on someone elses house,
And they're the ones that pay the bill…
