It gets pretty cold here at night, down to sixty degrees
There's angel hair up in the palm trees, it sure looks like Christmas to me
But, Santa's been grounded, his reindeer came down with TV
So, I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree.
Father Christmas ain't been seen in years down at
Sak's Fifth or Macy's, maybe try Sears'
Spend all ye faithful with all your might
Gonna have ten years of Silent Night.
Thought I'd make an impression, before the depression hit me
So, I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree.
We barely recover from pumpkins and Thanksgiving time
Then those acrylic-bearded Santas start clinging at Sunset and Vine
That snowflake in hell has more chance to stay mellow than me
So, I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree.
Easy credit may not cure your ills, un--
Less your address is ... in Beverly Hills
Spend all ye faithful with all your might
Gonna have ten years of Silent Night.
Thought I'd make an impression, before
The depression hit me
So I bought you a plastic star for your aluminum
Bought you a plastic star for your aluminum
Bought you a plastic star for your aluminum tree
If you own stock, then sell for half an ounce of Chanel--it's Christmas!
You better hit Fort Knox just to buy ties and socks--it's Christmas!
Pause Cuss at the shock, then bus over to Toys-R-Us--it's Christmas!
