I’ve Had A Very Merry Christmas Lyrics by Jerry Lewis

0

[Intro]
It was the day after Christmas
And all I could think about were the ginger peachy presents I received
"Ginger peachy", that’s a laugh! Ha, ha, ha
[Verse 1]
The shirts were swell, the socks were fine
They're all size ten, but my feet are size nine
I've had a very merry Christmas
The watch won't run, the wallet's split
The gloves are small, the pajamas don't fit
I've had a very merry Christmas
[Chorus]
Tеn dozen hankies
A gift of Aunty Rose's
Tеn dozen hankies
She must think I'm covered with noses!
[Post-Chorus]
Six neckties, they're all handmade
They're lovely ties, but they're all the same shade
Oh, I've had a very merry Christmas!
[Bridge]
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Give my heart a lift
Tomorrow I'll be on my way
Exchanging every gift!
Oh, I'm so disappointed
I've never been so disillusioned!
[Verse 2]
The pen won't write, the slippers gap
The bathrobe's tight, and the camera won't snap
I've had a very merry Christmas
Those darn cigars are much too strong
The sweater's wide, and the shorts are too long
I've had a very merry Christmas
[Chorus]
Six pairs of swim trunks
A present that my firm made
Six pairs of swim trunks
They must think I married a mermaid!
[Post-Chorus]
Hat's too small, the ring ain't gold
The muffler's thin, and I caught a good cold
A-choo!
I've had a very merry Christmas!
[Outro]
Yeah, fine Christmas I had
But don't get me wrong, I'm not too unhappy
I'm just miserable!
