mama's gettin' ready for christmas

yeah

we all know it's comin'

every year

thanksgivin' day

we're gonna wish we hadn't

but we all come over anyway

and it's nice to see the family

and lord

her cookin's great

but when she starts a'hummin' on jingle bells

we know there ain't no escape

'cause mama's gettin' ready for christmas

and you better stay out of her way

she's got a a million lights

a ton of decorations

and they gotta go up today

yeah

there ain't no doubt when they're all pulled out

she's gonna have a job for you

mama's gettin' ready for christmas

so you better get ready too

now she's the queen of redneck christmas

at least that's what my daddy thinks

while he's climbin' up the ladder with an eight foot santa

that laughs and waves and blinks

last year my brother bill almost got killed

wirin' up that artificial tree

and when i get done with these stupid plastic reindeer

that's the last that woman's gonna see of me

i bet you that!

mama's gettin' ready for christmas

and you better stay out of her way

a ton of decorations

she's gonna have a job for you

mama's gettin' ready for christmas

so you better get ready too

aw

the front yard's gonna look like las vegas

and folks will come from near and far

'cause everybody knows when she throws that switch

christmas is about to start

yeah

mama's gettin' ready for christmas

and you better stay out of her way
