G          C                                F          
There is a Barbie doll in the gravy boat up on mommas TV set
   C                       D                 G
An angel made of Styrofoam holds Rita’s cigarette
C                         F
Santa waves an empty beer in his plastic hand
C                               G              C       
Everyone is here this year, its Christmas time again

[Verse]

G            C                                    F
You know the kids are in their sleeping bags with every kind of toy
C                                   D              G
And Ken and Kay have hit the hay in dad’s new La-Z-Boy
C                          F
Fran has got a cozy spot beneath the Christmas tree
C                        G               C
Sitting in his underwear drunk as he can be

[Chorus]

     F                                  C
Last night we stuffed our stockings and hung the mistletoe
     F                         C    D                 G
When Santa Claus came knocking,  he looked like Uncle Joe
C                                          F
Someone put the coffee on and find the Tylenol
                                C               F   C   
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y’all

     F                                  C
Last night we all sang Jingle Bells and opened up our hearts
     F                            C       D        Am  G
This morning our house looks like hell or possibly Wal-Mart
    C   G         C                               F
Someone clean the gravy boat and dress the Barbie doll
                                C                             
Merry Christmas everyone, Happy Holidays y’all
      F                              C
We’re making mimosas on the deck and packing the U-Haul
F                         C
Merry Christmas everyone, God bless us one and all
