lyrics

INTRO PART: C - - - / C - - Bb / C - - - / C - - Bb/

VERSE 1:
I'm [C]wondering once again what I should get for you this year
A [Bb]gift certificate maybe a new six pack of beer
I [C]don't know what you like at all or what you like to do
So [F]here's a nice new twenty dollar [G]sweater just for you [C]

RIFF
Then INTRO PART: C - - - / C - - Bb / C - - - / C - - Bb/

VERSE 2:
I'll telephone your household to find out what you want
And then I'll go out to the mall to gather and to hunt
If you have to buy for me I really can't help you that much
'Cause [F]when it comes to Christmas I would [G]like to all go dutch [C]

CHORUS 1:
[Eb]I've [F]got you in the grab bag You mean so much to me
I [C]see you all of twice a year Let's gather round the tree
It's like [F]going for a checkup at the opthomologist
You [G]know it's coming each year so start making out your [C]list

RIFF
Then INTRO PART: C - - - / C - - Bb / C - - - / C - - Bb/

VERSE 3:
When it comes to spending it's not the cash I mind
it's the thought that counts; what I don't like is giving up the time
I wish it were a task to delegate to some young elf
So I wouldn't have to interrupt my thinking about my self

CHORUS 2:
I've got you in the grab bag You mean so much to me
I see you all of twice a year Let's gather round the tree
It's like going for a checkup with the staff psychologist
You know it's coming each year so start making out your list

RIFF
Then GUITAR SOLO
Then RIFF

Then INTRO PART: C - - - / C - - Bb / C - - - / C - - Bb/

VERSE 4:
Requesting what you really want would complicate it so.
And would make whoever got you know you're really a weirdo
You would have to know just way too much about the real me
So I guess I won't ask for that book of child pornography.

CHORUS 3:
You've got me in the grab bag and I know that we
are looking forward to when we will gather round the tree
It's like going for a checkup at your gynecologist
You know it's coming each year so start making out your list

WALK DOWN FROM C TO F, beginning…

CHORUS 4:
I've got you in the grab bag You mean so much to me
I see you all of twice a year Let's gather round the tree
It's like going for a checkup at the ophthamologist
I know it's coming each year so I'm making out my list
You know it's coming each year so start making out your list
We know it's coming every year
so we're making out our lists.

RIFF
Then INTRO PART: C - - - / C - - Bb / C - - - / C - - Bb/
