Christmas Cruise by Rich Baker
It’s holiday time full of cheer
When angels and miracles appear
Families gather by lighted trees
Children get gifts saying thank you and please
Fireplaces warm you and everyone’s home
Drinking egg nog and reading a Christmas poem
Singing songs and watching It’s a Wonderful Life
Children, grandparents, husband and wife
But we’re not there, because…
While you’re at home
Surrounded by cold wind and snow
We’ll be in shorts drinking lots of booze
Because this year we decided to take a Christmas Caribbean Cruise
It’s Christmas
Don’t you miss us?
We’re not there at all.
It’s snowing
We’re not showing
And we’re not even going to call
There won’t be ornaments hanging on our tree
Instead we are boating out to sea
No family arguments or shopping mall crowds
Just a fun cruise director who shouts very loud “Get up to deck 3 for LIMBO!”
It’s Christmas
Don’t be suspicious
We’re actually having fun
The kids are screaming
And we’re day dreaming
As we tan underneath the sun
We may miss a few things
like presents and mistletoe
But we’re living like kings as the boat is flowing
Down to Jamaica and Kokomo.
It’s Christmas
Oh how delicious
Smoked salmon and whiskey sours
Sun is shining
We’re reclining
As we relax away the hours
Why didn’t we ever do this before?
Christmas was always such a chore.
So cold stressful not at all restful
It’s way better off Shore
What have we got to lose?
Can’t wait to spread the news
It’s our right to choose
We’re here with a bunch of Jews.
A Christmas Caribbean Cruise!
