Lyrics

There's a girl I love in Maine
Who I'm gonna see this Christmas Day
She'll sing "Silver Bells" in a lisp and twang
That she picked up in Carolina
Where we lived, her Mom & I
Before our conscious uncoupling
She was born the same day as Christ
Telephone just won't suffice
Gotta see and hold my little girl tight...and wish her

Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
And to all your dreams and wishes
Hope they all come true like my love for you
Christina

We'll play that card-trick surprise
And then her Mom will roll her eyes
Out comes the Santa suit, and it's fitting' a little tight
With every "Ho-Ho-Ho" she screams
Then wants to play hide 'n seek
And then the Ex breaks out the cake and whiskey

pre-chorus
chorus

And to every Christmas baby who feels robbed...

Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
And to all your dreams and wishes
Hope they all come true, like I do for you
Christina

Happy birthday, Merry Christmas
Tell your Mom I'll do all of the dishes
and that mistletoe that I hung's for show
except to steal a kiss from Christina
Christina
