That song on the radio says it's the most wonderful time of the year! What about my birthday? What about summer vacation?! The most wonderful time of the year. That's debatable. You took the words right out of my mouth.

Verse 1:The holidays were upon usAnd things were going fine‘til the day I heard the doorbellAnd a chill ran up my spineI grabbed the wife and childrenAs the postman wheeled it inA yearly Christmas nightmareHas just come back again
Chorus:It was harder than the head of Uncle BuckyHeavy as the sermon of Preacher LuckyOne’s enough to give the whole state of KentuckyA great big bellyache!It was denser than a drove of barnyard turkeysTougher than a truckload of all-beef jerkyDrier than a drought in AlbuquerqueGrandma’s killer fruitcake!
Verse 2:Now, I’ve had to swallow some marginal fareAt our family feastsI even downed Aunt Dolly’s possum pieJust to keep the family peaceI winced at Wilma’s gizzard mousseBut said it tasted fineBut that lethal weapon that Grandma bakesIs where I draw the line
Chorus
Bridge:It’s early Christmas morning and the phone rings us awake“It’s Grandma, Pa, she wants to know, how did we like the cake?”“Well, Grandma… I never!… We couldn’t!… Unbelievable, that’s for sure!What’s that you say? Oh, no, Grandma! Please don’t send us more!”
Chorus
