lyrics

No milk today, no cookies on display
So here I stand forlorn, the symbol of your scorn
No milk today, no letter sent my way
And so I deign to cry, don’t know the reason why

How could I know just what these tidings mean?
The end of my hopes and all the children’s dreams
How could they know the workshop there had been
Up in the north where Mrs. Claus was queen?

No milk today, the driest in an age
Apparel, it was gay, I stunted and I “sleighed”

But all that’s left is a place not so holy
A haunted house in the heart of Tinsel Town
I tinker toys, oh discarded and lowly
They don’t make a sound

No milk today, I held a hearty ho
The festivals were gay, my milkshake stirred and splayed
As hymns were sung, the elves were showing bum
We never have such fun, no morsel nor a scrum

How could they know just what these tidings mean?
The end of the snow and very merry things
How can they sow the seeds of mistletoe
When they believe humbuggery is king?

But all that’s left is a rot in the pear tree
A silent night in the quiet Tinsel Town

But all that’s left are the red rosy memories
Of Christmastide in the tired Tinsel Town

Now all that’s left is a boy and his only
Wish to come to town
I wish to come to town
