Song Lyrics: |
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to you...
Christmas in jail Christmas in jail I had a little too much to drink I ain't got no bail Gotta pee in a pail and I'm spendin' New Year's Eve in the clink
I was in the wrong lane Feelin' no pain Zoomed my car to seventy-five I ran right into You can guess who and they say I'm lucky to be alive
Merry Christmas Happy New Year They're singin' down the street While everybody's havin' Christmas turkey, they give me bread and water to eat
Christmas in jail Christmas in jail I wore my shoes out pacin' the floor I got rocks in my head I wish I was dead Ain't gonna drink and drive no more
Merry Christmas Happy New Year They're singin' down the street While everybody's havin' Christmas turkey, they give me bread and water to eat
Christmas in jail Christmas in jail I wore my shoes out pacin' the floor I got rocks in my head I wish I was dead Ain't gonna drink and drive no more No, ain't gonna drink and drive no more No, ain't gonna drink and drive no more (Stavro Arrgolus) |
