Lyrics
Christmas Nightmare
Don't want to be in the spotlight, don't want to be a celebrity
It's mid-winter, snow is falling, just a week to get back home
It's a long road, I'm headed north now, I need to find my way alone
Vut in this weather there's no highway, howdo I get home?
Now I'm a stranger in a small town trying hard to be discreet
I don't want no busybody stopping me upon the street
And so I'm staying in the shadows, no one's eyes to meet
CHORUS: Don't want to be in the spotlight
Don't wqant to be a celebrity
Just gotta get back to my own reality
Then I wake up in a cold sweat in an old familiar scene
It's re-curring, it's a nightmare but it's always just a dream
Dressed in ermine with a white beard and it's Christmas Eve
CHILDREN: Santa's saved celebrate Christmastime,
Celebrate Santa is saved
Celebrate, celebrate Christmastime
Celebrate Santa is saved
The slay is all ready and loaded
For 'Dasher 'and 'Prancer' and 'You Know Who'
I'm flying on up and away now
To bring on a happy Christmas to you
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open slay
