x'mas time (it sure doesn't feel like it)

it's the twentieth of december

a cold rain is fallin' down

kenmore square's deserted

the college kids have left town

sure don't feel like christmas time

sure doesn't feel like christmas time

to me

down in filene's basement

pretend i'm shoppin' for a friend

this time of year means nothing

you've got nothing you can spend

sure don't feel like christmas time

sure doesn't feel like christmas time

it's the holiday season

and it's freezing cold

no one'll have me

i'll have no one to hold

i'll have no halls to deck

i've got nowhere to be

it sure doesn't feel like christmas time to me

now i'm standing in downtown crossing

and i've got nowhere to go

i might sleep here on the sidewalk

i'm tired and cold

the colored lights on the common

they don't shine so bright for me

there's no such thing as peace on earth

there's no peace or harmony

sure don't feel like christmas time

sure doesn't feel like christmas time

it's the holiday season

and it's freezing cold

no one'll have me

i'll have no one to hold

i'll have no halls to deck

i've got nowhere to be

it sure doesn't feel like christmas time to me
